As far as im aware there not mate as i was enquiring about one of these last year and emailed the seller to ask and he told me they wasnt, i lost interest then and didnt bother to find out anymore about it and took his word for it as he had it for a couple of years.

Not HGT isnt a turbo...its a 1.8 16v

GT was the turbo model and it was only a 1.4

Can be made to look pretty damn nice, a mate had one with quite a saucy Abarth bodykit all in yellow with 17s.

The HGT's are the 1.8 16v, older GT model was a 1.4 Turbo. First gear is a bit weak, but from second onwards they pull quite well (HGT 16v). Handling isn't as good as a VTS but in a straight theres barely anything in it.
