Default From a boosted Toyota, to a Nissan!

Hey guys, just another newcomer here. I am currently driving a Toyota Celica GT-S. I was in the middle of purchasing a 335i, but after I've seen the 370z in person and test drove it last week, I decided it was the car I wanted. The styling for the new Z looks absolutely gorgeous, and in the end, I will be saving quite a bit of money. I will be picking up my new Z (Base model, solid red with sports package) sometime next week! Here are a few shots of the Celica that I will be parting with:

Fine upgrade. Those Celica tranny's are a joke, Ive heard . I like my exterior mods a lot more subtle, but at least you turbocharged it to back up some of the looks. So what did it put down on what kind of dyno?

Dude good choice for an upgrade. I think Celica is a girly car. Toyota never really invested on that car.

Good upgrade. I could never get past the image of the Celica as a girl's car... very feminine!

Toyota's reliability is legendary, but for thrill-seekers, the Z is quite a few notches above the Celica. Even the MR4, which I really like, couldn't stand up to the Z. Congrats!
