For the Celica GT-S, you can order one without the ABS, Sunroof,
wing, side airbags, leather, and with the base 15" alloys.
However, the vehicle may take 2-4 months to arrive on
special order.
Unfortunately, headroom is lacking unless I open my sunroof,
so a Celica without the sunroof might be a bad idea for some.
I read that the GT-S weighs about 2500 lbs. But I have not
put my model on a scale yet.
The GT-S will be some good competition for the Type-R this year.

I'm no expert, but I believe you forgot the Celica GTS.
On that subject, isn't it going to be somewhat a threat? I know, it falls
off the VVT or whatever. BUT, running 15's, 205/50's is a much lower
diameter to change the gearing right. Plus, a special ordered one, with no
sunroof, no spoiler, and 15's sounds like a pretty good runner. And, there
may be more options to delete.
