so im on the florida turnpike and notice a grabber orange v6 behind me. it had the pp grill, rockers, front and rear bumper but i noticed that he put GT emblems on the side

why do people pretend they have a GT? are our 6's that embarrassing to drive around? I love telling people its a 6 when they ask cause then they give me this weird wtf look which is quite amusing

i dont mind the gt emblems on the fenders on the GT but the rear trunk emblem should def be the 6 one with the running horse not the GT... not retro

GT emblems belong on GTs and nothing else.
Might as well put a Chevy Emblem on there.
Makes the same sense.

I like the clean look. No fake plastic hood scoop, no plastic rear wing, no stinkin badges, no tape or stickers. Just clean. I have since taken the dealer sticker off too. And it doesn't hurt that we don't have to have a front plate.

^ Make sure and take off that dealer sticker then

Not sure why people put GT badges on their 6'ers, i guess they're not proud of what they have...

next time just flag the guy down and ask him yourself

i'm sure he'll give you some decent response

ie "it came that way" or "the dealer did some special things to it"

you know its one thing to make a clone...im not against that at all..because most clones have the funk under the hood to back it up.....

if i had a gt i would switch to the pony fender emblems anyways cause i like em better...same with the gas cap.....

so having said that here is a story proud sixers will appreciate....

lady on a smokin harley pulled up next to me today and said i had a mustang like yours but it wasnt a gt.....

i quickly corrected her that i was a six.....she said but you have dual exhaust...i said yeah...i liked the sound and look of them.....

the lesson ....never judge a book by its cover....i also have seen some though very few gts with the pp grill....i have had many gt owners ask me if it would fit thier car, but it wont fit the gt bumper...you have to switch it to the 6 as it is a little smaller i think....as is the pp grill.....

and i have no problem telling folks im a sixer,....hopefully one day a supercharged sixer....until then im saving for my short throw, cai and tune.....i like being the underdog....

Aint nothing wrong with a sixer stang. I think they are pretty respectable for what they are. Back on topic, I guess it's for the gt look and respect, for the same reason some of the gt guys slap cobra emblems all over their car. Plus it lets your buddies brag about beating a gt (or cobra). Supercharge that six and make some of the gt guys go crazy!!! Another thing - just about every kid on the road wants to race a "gt", so be prepared to hammer your gas mileage.
