Confusion on my part, as it turns out.

The red one that belongs to the fellow that I just 'met' is actually a 
GT5-S, which has had Pantera Si sheetmetal grafted onto the nose and tail.   
That's why it wears the original 15-inch GT5-S wheels and has a GT5-S interior.

An interesting amalgam of parts!   I'm trying to get the full story.
