What MAKES a GT4? Options

[shid]

In the forum 3si.org (which my housemate moderates on) a very stupid and silly thread has broken out.

The 3000GT VR4 is almost the exact same as the JDM only Mitsu GTO- in USDM release Mitsu changed the name to avoid upsetting pontiac (as well as badging changes; different front turn likes and changing LHD and RHD)

However, people in the US who have done the conversion have started calling their cars GTOs- although their title says 3000GT VR4. Same engine, same tranny (some models of the GTO have different gear ratios- some)

The poster of this thread stated that he hated people who called their cars GTO; and that it will never be a GTO.

What do you guys think?

So, what makes a GT4? I realize in our cars, we have the problem of AWD-

but if someone completed a full swap- AWD and everything (including badging)

Would it be a GT4? Or just a GT (or even ST hehe) in GT4's clothing?

I'm inclined to believe that it would be a GT4.. just not a very stable one

I say keep it a sleeper so noone knows. why do people advertise their stuff? it's just another quick way to get their car stolen. I especially like the people who put "rockford fosgate" stickers, etc... on their cars... when they aren't even sponsored to do so... that's just saying "rob me, puhleeeeze!"

No show, no tell. Let 'em figure it out .

I agree - nothing like having some ricer come up on you only to get they're arse handed to them by something they didnt see coming.
