Trans Am Or Trans Am Gt

I was wondering if there is any good way to tell I a trans am is a gt or not. Sheould a gt model be badged somewhere on the car, would there be a code in the glove box for, if so what is it. Is there someplace you could run the vin to find out? I was wondering since mine had the up level spoiler and is pretty well loaded.

thanks

I always thought it was a special package. Im pretty sure its a very limited production package. Correct me if im wrong, but im never wrong.

95 was last year of GT option, it had high rise spoiler, leather, and I think traction control. after 95, high rise became mandatory on Trans-Ams

So is my 95 a GT??? I have everything that came in the trans ams as far as options, except the ws6 package. Im confused and thought 94's were only GT's.

TA GT's were only avaliable in 1994. The only reason they are "GT's" it becuase they have the GT package, which consists of the following:

High Rise Spoiler
Leather
Power air lumbar on both driver/pass seats
10 speaker sound system
and a few other small things......

some people will say they came with alittle beefier suspension then normal trans am's, I am not sure.

From the 4th Gen FAQ:

Trans Am GT - available only in 1994, same as the regular Trans Am, but with all the options including "up-level" rear spoiler and GS-C tires coming standard on the car. All 1993 Trans Ams had the GT treatment as standard, but they were not referred to as GTs. In 1995 and after, the treatment got broken down into a number of options like on the Formula.
