For full features; Go to do the letter GTo mean something?
Theres around a 1971 ( we think) gto rotting in an empty yard besdie my
friends house. We were discussing how someone needs to rescue the car .
In our discussion we came to the question of does GTO stand for
something?
Or is it just some random letters

Girls Take Over :laughing:...Or at least they advertised it as that in some
commercials :laughing: I'll look into it though :wink2:
EDIT: Didn't take as long as I thought,
Gran Turismo Omologato...not very catchy :doh:

Find the owner of the car, ask how much he wants for it if anything. try
and strike any deal thats reachable. I dont even pay for most of my
original Chevy parts from the salvage yard from just doing work for the
guy. haggle a little bit.

That's the Italian way of saying Grand Touring Homologated. i.e.
homologated (produced in specific numbers to legalize the car as a
production car for FIA road racing) GT car, vs Prototype GT car. Used
originally on the Ferrari 250 GTO in '62 and "borrowed" for the Pontiac in
'64.

So does that mean the "GT" in Mustang GT stands for Gran Turismo or Grand
Touring?

Not real quick on the uptake, are you. Gran Turismo and Grand Touring mean
the same thing in different languages. :banghead:
vwhobo
Now I'm sure of this but just wanna check that GTR stands for Grand Touring
Racings right? I heard about it before but just wanna verify it with mr
hobo here.

GTR is simply GT with an R stuck on the end of it because it sounds cool.
R has been used to stand for roadster, racing, racer, roadracing, ricer and
based on some of the cars I've seen it on, ridiculous.
vwhobo
I know that. I was just asking if GT stood for Gran Tourismo (which is
Grand Touring in english)
