I have a 88 Starion or more often referred to as a StarQuest because of it bieng also called a Conquest in the States also. The reason I bought this game sadly is the XRGT Turbo is identical to my car, not the interior, but if you look at the front and rear lights there layout is almost identical. The XR GT though is much more like a non widebody starion (maybe a 84???), the reason also though I believe the car was built a large amount off the starion is because the Starion though not widely known was and still is a very good track car. Look up some history on it and you will see that it had quite a record of dominating.
Look at the horsepower rating 250 for the XRGT Turbo, with a 3 inch exaust w/o a cat strait pipe that is an averge hp rating for a Starion, which mine is either close to, or higher not sure, also look at the boost, Starions boost to 12 psi, but many turn the stock turbos to 14-15 psi which is safe to do as long as not under constant use. I believe the spoiler and interior are the only differences between the two, except its relatively easy to put a spoiler on a car, and the hood which might seem to be different really isnt because you could buy that hood with the Starion, sadly of which mine doesnt have... well I have written entirely to much for a first post but thats just my 2 cents! Love the car no matter what the inspiration was cause as long as theses voices in my head keep telling me its my car (and to keep sane), its all I will drive!
