getting mistaken for a GTO

has anyone ever mistaken your gtp for a gto? too many people have told me "nice gto" and one time i was at a car show and someone was like "How do you like driving one of those auatralian cars? I have a magazine with your car in it if you want to buy it" he opens the page up to a picture of a bunch of new GTO's. I mean i know its a two door, and they do look somewhat similar, but you can tell the difference definitely. C'mon people get it right, yes it is three letters, but thats GTP not GTO... but hey... i guess a gto isnt so bad to be mistaken for, they are 400 hp and they are pretty nice!
 


I've heard "nice Grand Am"...that makes me pretty mad. Or I get the "How do you like driving that RWD in the snow"...I say..."Ever know what a sideways motor means?"

yea man, i would buy an old gto though. i think they should have called the new ones something else it doesnt look like a gto. still i would definitely take one though... they are so fast
 
Friend of mine got a grandam SE and he thought we had "Basically the same car now"...so I raced him...needless to say how that ended :p
 


When I flipped my '97 GP GT last june, I was pretty upset..and the cop said "relax Mike, there's a million black grand am's out there" I have never wanted to punch someone in the face so bad in my life...
 
I get the grand-am thing every once in a while, I take it with a grain of salt since these people don't know anything about cars.

When i first got my car i got mistaken for a gtp frequently :p
 
ya ive had "u drive a grand am right? or wait is it a grand prix?" its like lets see u drive it n u wont forget the name next time!
 


Yeah...if your car is stock it is no faster than a 3.4 Grand Am GT. Seen it. N/A GP's ain't fast unless you gots lots-o-mods.
