Hi,
The 7th gen( made between 2000-2006) Celica basically comes in either the 1ZZ or 2ZZ engines.
The 1ZZ (VVTI) is available in the GT (SS1 in Japan) model, while the 2ZZ (VVTL-I) is available in the GTS (SS2 in Japan).

The VVTI produce 140 bhp @ 6400 rpm. Torque: 125 lb.-ft. @ 4,200 rpm.
The VVTL-I produces 180 - 190 bhp(depends on market) @ 7600 rpm. Torque is at 130 lb.-ft. @ 6,800 rpm.
The letter L in the VVTL-I stands for lift. It gives the engine an extra 40 - 50 bhp @ 6000 rpm.
Unless you are driving like you are in the Grand Prix, then the extra gain is noticeable.

7th gen owner and the info I got from a book written by Brian Long titled Celica & Supra, The Book of Toyota's Sport Coupes.
Hope it helps
