The VIN doesnt give model type and neither does registration int he USA so i highly doubt it does in Canada. This in its own tells me something is up here. every car i have owned never has and the F-Body GM cars Trans Ams are just Firebird Coupes. As far as VIN being even the correct one for the car, just in case the Registration in fact says GT, doesnt matter. I had a friend who got taken on a "1985" Camaro V6. Turns out the Maro was originally a 92(knew this from the look of the car) 25th Anniversary Edition that originally had a 305 in it. The VIN was swapped every where it appeared on the car except the frame rail. His registration, insurance, and even a car fax said the car was an 85. The carfax and insurance said it was an 85. When car fax was ran on the frame rail VIN it showed the 305 and 92. Just goes to show what people will do

when I've run carfax, it tells you the model/trim etc

It is a question of you not reading and paying attention.

The guy is from Canada, not the US. So I still say, you have no fact to prove.

You clearly lost the battle to reading comprehension. Did you manage to find the list of various trims in the FAQ yet? It includes ALL North American models. There is no model listed called a GT that came as a 4-lug. The only model of FC ever made simply called "GT" was turbocharged, with 5-lug. The GT model did not even exist in the U.S.; the one referred to in the FAQ is an international model.




If the OPs car was in fact a GT, it would have a turbo.
Proof:
OP's car is naturally aspirated.

There's no such thing as a SN95 GTR, at least not as a street car. The only Mustang GTR made is of the current generaion, IIRC.

Yeah I noticed that too, but my car is the same way. The rear RX-7 sticker on my car (an 87) is worn like crazy, but my side GXL stickers are in perfect shape. I'm the original owner too.

jerd_hambone

Ah but for all that is know, the car could have an N/A swap done.

The fact the car is not turbo does not say that it is a fake.

I'm not saying the car is in fact a GT. But you are saying it isn't with no proof aside for the fact it's not turbo and because you can get a stick that say GT from any auto parts store.

So therefore I still win, because I am not making any claims as to what the car is, I am just saying not to say it's fake because of a stupid reason.

There is in fact an SN95 GT-R. SN95 covers 1994-2004 year model mustangs. The GT-R was made somewhere between these years and are extremely rare. I will check up for some pics on my mustang forum and get back to you.

Sorry it was not a GT-R it was a 95 Cobra R. I knew it had an R in it lol. Still extremely Rare. Only ever 250 of them ever made in that year and 300 Cobra R were made in 2000. I know lots of people that have never and probably won't ever see one up close and personal.

What about the 4-lugs??? Who would swap out 5-lugs?
I guess the same idiot who would swap out a T2 motor....

jerd_hambone

The completely 100% right FAQ says nothing about being 5 lug. :]

GT = Sporty Model with Turbo
GT Limited = fully loaded every option turbo model.

It can be reasonably deduced that the car was a turbocharged car, from the fact that it has a non-turbo hood which has faded and worn evenly with the rest of the body, no 4-piston brake calipers, 4-lugs, and a non-turbo engine. Unless someone took a turbo shell and swapped on all of these things, it is not a GT. That is a fact.

I never said that one can buy a sticker that says GT inherently makes it not a GT. That's simply a possible explanation for why the car has such a sticker. Bear in mind, this sticker isn't worn evenly with other such stickers on the car, which strongly implies that the car itself was never the turbocharged model that the sticker claims it is.

However, if it is that important to you, I will concede. You win all the internets for the day.

Yeah... but alas, still sadly no Sn95 GTR Mustang, with a turborotary, and pistons (and the option of headers)

MmSadda

Turbo models were all 5 lug. and this has gone far enough, man. I'm calling you out.

Well i knew it wasnt going to have a turbo rotary, with pistons and headers. Thats only possible on a Civic and then it would even be DOHC. Speaking of Civics just a funny little story here.

On my way to school this morning and a little early so i stop to Mcdonalds to grab some breakfast. Im the only person in the drive through and im at the second window. Suddenly i hear a whining noise that seems to pulse. Then i hear what seems to be a car hitting the building. I look behind me to see a Riced out Civic has tried to commit suicide. So i pull into a parking spot and run over to see if anyone is in it and cant because it has glass so dark i could probably see through coal with better luck. It even has the windshield tinted. So i figure what the hell and try to open the door and its locked. The whole time im trying to look into the car its humping the building. Then an employee comes out and says "oh **** someone stole my whip." So then im like Hey is this your "whip"? Then he is like "****, not again that is like the 8th time this month. Must have left it in gear last night." He had remote start on a 5 speed. So then i proceed to get my order while he is moving "White Lightnin' "(thats the cars name I assume from the windshield banner) back into the parking spot. I wish i would have video taped the whole thing. It would have been awesome to have on here and youtube.

and VTAK! don't forget VTAK! vtak's like turbo for those things, right? but without that gay-*** lag?

and oooh, man... that's just sad.... I think someone must be trying to mess with that guy personally

jerd_hambone

Haha, what can I say, I'm usually a lounge rat, so I like a good debate.

But in all seriousness, there is no reason to say it's not a GT because of a non-turbo hood. If you put a turbo hood on your car, does it make it TII? No.

Also, there may have been a turbo model with 4 lugs. You never know. Just like Mazda said only S5 Tubro's came with an LSD. Even though the GTUs also came with an LSD.


And I won the internets for all the day! I am awesome haha

jerd_hambone

Ai Avas! My GTU stickers look brand new and the rest of my fenders are faded bad!

no your not, Your Wrong.

S4 TII also have LSDs
and there was never a tubo Model with 4lug Hubs

Yea almost for got the Vtak MMSadda my bad. My 80 year old grandma hates Civics lol. Last year she bought a Focus that ended up having a turbo in it and she didnt know it. Thing eats Civics all for breakfast lunch mid-day snack and dinner. I know because i got to drive it for a while.

jerd_hambone

I meant during the entire S5 run, Mazda reported that only the Turbo model had an LSD.

Just because you have not seen a TII with 4 lugs, does not mean that somewhere out there in the world, Mazda screwed up and made a few that were 4 lug.

rowtareh?

iTrader: (1)

GTUs's were technically a TII without the turbo motor. That's why Mazda stopped making them.
