It isn't going to matter for your purposes of replacing a window. The GTS is simply a heavier more bloated version of the GT.

Or conversely, the GT is the Povo pack GTS.

Yup and if you read my whole post you would have seen I mentioned that.

This whole thing was just a rant regarding Australian naming of the car. Didn't realise so many people would get so worked up about it.

Might have been said in jest but as well as loving cars I also race a little laser yacht. Always makes me laugh when people put carbon fibre this and that to save a few ounces when I'm about 20kg lighter than most of them.

That dump could make a difference!

I used to race Lasers (and before that Moths if you have ever heard of those.)

Big buggers like me can demonstrate the disadvantage of extra weight in karts quite easily.

but:
Yep, we had a New Zealand specific square front moth decades ago, then the pointy bow international moth and now like the rest of the world we have those carbon fibre foiling moths (although I have never sailed any of the versions).

Only problem for me is I live in the windiest city in New Zealand and one of the windiest capital cities in the world and I'm a light wind sailor.
