how to tell a real gts??

bluestang1724 · July 1st, 2009, 01:56 PM

ok so how can u tell if its a true gts?? i was looking at my registration for my 95 and it says 1995 mustang gt/gts.. but it has all the things of a gt. its got power everything.. i thought the gts didnt have power seats and windows.. am i wrong? but my car doesnt have a rear window defroster which i thought was odd.. b/c i havent seen that before

I'm sure its just a regular GT. Mine says GT/GTS on the registration too.

whats the difference between the gt and the gts?

AzSonicSnake · July 1st, 2009, 06:14 PM

"1995 saw the introducion of the Mustang GTS, which was designed to be a lightweight, "barebones" car with the power of a GT. The GTS was basically a base mustang with the 215 horsepower 5.0L V8 thrown in. This was to keep the car light, which would aid in handling and acceleration. 6,370 Mustang GTS's were produced."

found that on american muscles website...

barebone meaing they have power nothing? or whats so bare on them?

95BlackStang · July 1st, 2009, 09:44 PM

its a non powered window/locks coupe, it has no spoiler and it has pony wheels, v6 seats, manual trans all(i think),

bluestang1724 · July 2nd, 2009, 10:48 AM

mine doesnt have a rear window defroster.. was that? b/c ive never seen that

quick1320 · July 2nd, 2009, 11:13 AM

mines a gts and it has power windows,door locks cruise,ac,but it doesnt have rear defrost and it has cloth seats and no powerseats either

Lind · July 2nd, 2009, 04:02 PM

lol whats so light weight about them? no spoiler and rear defrost?

01brknGT · July 4th, 2009, 04:57 AM

i was told that the gts was made becuase they had a lot of leftover 5.0's before they went into 96 to install the 4.6 liters. So they made a gts to use the rest of the 5.0's and save money by not putting all of the gt upgrades

bluestang1724 · July 4th, 2009, 12:35 PM

so is mine a gts then? since it doesnt have a rear defroster? and i dont think it had a spoiler but someone put it on b4 i got the car

95StangMX · July 6th, 2009, 12:16 PM

someone probably bashed out your back window and didnt want to pay for the one with the defroster so they just put in the cheap one genius! why is everyone so crazy over wanting their cars to be the gts piece....be glad its not, they are not special, they are built out of leftovers....

bluestang1724 · July 6th, 2009, 12:24 PM

well the spot where the button goes is just blank.. its a factory piece of plastic that went in place of the button.. and no im not crazy about wanting a gts.. i was just curious since on the registration it said gt/gts... i could care less if my car is a gts or not. it was just a question.. u dont have to b a dick about it

95StangMX · July 6th, 2009, 03:01 PM

not being a dick at all newb chill out.........wasnt just saying you. there are several people getting all hyped up on them. Just pointing out they were/are nothing special.

i don't think thats the case...now i know they were left outta left over parts...but my friend had a 97 GT that was infact a GTS, so it wasn't just built to use up the extra 5.0's, they continued using 5.0's in explorers and mountaineers after 95.

HUH?

Here is a link I found on google...its a great site some of you should try it out. You put in the subject you are looking for and it pulls up info on it.

The gts was basically a based out mustang gt built for affordability.

and could be upgraded upon request.

Mustang GTS Information

95project · July 7th, 2009, 03:38 PM

i think part of it was for insurance purposes...they were less expensive than the GT. it was fords attempt to make an all around affordable sports car. the title says GT/GTS but the insurance rates are cheaper on the GTS...i dont think the VIN number specified which one it was except with the fully loaded GT....and i wish i didnt have a rear defrost..it was hell scraping the old tint glue off while trying not to mess up the defrost lines....but i have never seen a GTS with leather.

95StangMX · July 7th, 2009, 05:30 PM

please explain why a GT with no power accessories or defrost was cheaper for insurance? that makes absolutely no sense at all. its still a GT no matter what. for any car insurance is based on the year and the engine that was in it (for the most part). so how can the same year mustang have cheaper insurance with the same engine?
