    GM's marketing department messing things up. Does it have a sun roof and monsoon sound system? That could make it a GT. It would be a GTP if it had a supercharger.
    The following year the GTP was dropped for just GT (supercharged) base (n/a) and GXP (V8)

    Yeah some people at GM were smoking crack for a few years... getting rid of the Pontiac brand still bothers me.

    It is the 2006 special edition. It does have a moon roof also. I thought the special edition was automatically a GT. However, the GT is said to have a 260 hp engine. I am confused if the supercharge makes it 260 hp or if the supercharge just adds onto that hp? I don't really want the 200 hp engine.

    Wrong. 2006 and 2007 GT's were supercharged. Having a sunroof and monsoon does not make it a GT either. My supercharged GT has neither a sunroof or monsoon.
