Of course it's not rocket science that's easy stuff, we're trying to figure out acronyms that don't actually have a meaning like what does EX, DX, HX, LX, Si, and what does the M mean in M Roadster, M3, and M5 or MX-5. Also what does SLT , LT, XLT mean. I do know you can cram a rocket in a 7th Gen. though, lol.

Exactly, I hate it when they slap GT on slow cars; Sunfire GT, Probe GT, Escort GT, new and old Celica GT, even the Tiburon GT isn't that fast.

its all marketing hype to make us forget they sold us a car with 130hp or less.

A. they're just to get your attention like, oooooh, this car has a z and x in its name, it must be cool or....
B. It was the prototype name or somthing like that

Correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm pretty sure I'm not. But don't the Accent GT's use the same engine as the rs, and gs eclipses? This gives them the possibility to really scoot.

Live Free, Be Happy
Probe GT's are slow? Sure they're no 911 Carerra GT (*NOTE* VERY fast) but at 164hp/160 torque (at realitively low RPM ranges) and a V6 engine they can keep up with a lot of cars.
BTW don't post a story about beating a probe GT is you have any sort of turbo on your car...I would hope you could beat a Probe with a turbo >>
Don't forget the Mustang GT with it's V8 215/285 hp/torque.
I'm not saying that GT = REALLY F*CKING FAST, but it also does not mean the car is all hype. GT is nothing more than a label, true...and I guess I have just been rambling on about meaningless things...but give me a break it's 2:30AM here and I can't sleep so I go to 6gc...i need help >
>
EDIT: ok I re-read darksecret's post and realized he was just saying about how sometimes they label slwo cars "GT"...sorry for the long post attempting to correct him...he's right.
I guess I am just trying to say that there are still fast cars with the "GT" label...O yea, and probe GTs arent as slow as people think they are (or should at least not be classified with the sunfire GT or escort GT)

Nope, they use a 104 hp 1.6 Litre. The old Excel on the other hand had the same engine bay design as the Evo I believe. I use to sell Hyundais and those things are Slow. The Elantra GT uses a CVVT variant of the Mitsubishi 2.0 Litre.

With the GT thing, basically when I hear GT I think of a car that's fast andcan handle pretty well like Skyline GT, Ford GT, Carrera GT, the Mustang GT might not be able to handle but they are strong in a straight line. That is why I but the Probe GT in the lower line up, yes it's somewhat quick but the Probe isn't exactly a track star, the Sunfire GT based on weight can give the Probe GT a nice run for it's money and is more nimble around corners also.
does it matter what it these letters stand for? just take em off the car and throw it in the garbage. then people will be like "wow wtf is that?"
I put them next my clock, lol.
