bilstein's, six speed box and cheaper insurance versus less fuel and quicker.
It's pretty close between the two if you were in the city i'd go the 3.0rb but for having fun and power potential i'd go the gt

I was a fence sitter until I drove them back to back. The difference in handling from the Bilsteins has to be experienced to be believed.
There was only one choice after I drove them both.
The Spec.B is much better value too. 18" rims, tough as bricks STi 6 speeder (the manual is actually heavier than the auto), smaller wheel with stereo controls, alloy pedals (you can heel-toe in a Spec.B but not in a GT), and various chrome bits for bling.
But it's the Bilsteins that make all the difference, or did for me at least.
I do miss the power and torque from a turbo on the freeway though. But the mid-corner punch from the N/A 3.0L is sufficiently different from the Celica to keep me entertained in the twisties.
Shame it's a "symetric" 4WD though. It'd be a great car if it was RWD, 100-200kg lighter and had at least some of the engine in front of the front axle...
