LOL It's all good, a lot of ppl don't know exact meaning of GC8 is anyways. First thing first, GC is technically a Sedan. Here's the door chassis code

Sedan: GC
Coupe: GM
Wagon: GF

Secondly, 8 is the engine type in the car. Here's the list

2 = 1.8L
4 = 2.2L
6 = 2.5L
8 = 2.0L turbo

For an example: My car would be GM6. GM for coupe, 6 for engine type.

...and if you wanna go more in depth, there's more letter/numbers after that. Bunta's (Ini-D) car is GM8F28D... but who's asking. lol

Hope that helped
