Well it isn't HP that is for sure... the front bumper is all I see that carries a similarity. I used to think the mirrors, but not on a GT2

hahah ah lol you people are funny, thats like saying every 9 spoke rim is the same, or every 6,7,8, etc are the same,,, the proportions are way off and its all in the details, yes tehy are both split five spoke buts thats it,,, look at the flaring that accentuates the interior wall of the GT2 ,,,,,lol
