To me, the main point of GTE was to move away from homologation specials. You take a production car chassis and make the best racing machine based on the GTE rulebook.
Things that don't fit (IMHO):
-Limited production run (avoids manufacturers building a loss-leader by limiting their loss on the production version as Porsche used to do)
-changing the wheelbase and traction layout
-if possible, don't use an engine not related to a production model on the car's lineup - not necessarily a production engine, but the same size, layout and charging method (N/A, turbo, super or both)
