RE: GT = Stands for what?
What does GT stand for?
In 1964, Ford Design made up "Grand Sport" badges when they were developing a performance version of the Mustang. In the end they Grand went Touring. This name made more sense with GT, which stands for since Ford was developing their long-distance Ford endurance racing GT (GT-40) for with the goal of beating Ferrari and winning the 24 hours of LeMans.

RE: GT = Stands for what?
thank you all, you made me 0.001% smarter --- I always thought that GT = "Giant *********" --- I was planning in chaging my SVT for a GT just because the "giant *********" applied more to me
