And it's wrong. It had crappy 15" rims, and a 4.1" diff, sunroof was optional, and had a S4 block.

Now, consindering a GTUs has everything you listed as good about the GTU plus the TII rims and the 4.3, VDI, and the listed curb weight between the two models is damned near identical.

Or did you forget the 2720 curb weight listed for manual was the base on s4's? (As for the whole 'compare to feel thing', that's not even worth commenting on)

1. wheels can be replaced

2. the 4.3 is overrated (take it from a GTUs owner)

3. auto belts SUCK

4. someone who wants to deturbo a TII shouldn't own a GTUs anyways...

Take it from a GTU and GTUs owner. They're BOTH overrated.

However, the GTUs is better than the GTU.

Yea don't get me wrong I love the GTUs... Something about an FC without a sunroof bugs me though (although I would never change it)... The S4 GTU is way better for an all around beater 7...

Should have clarified...

If you're going to ramble on about technical faults of the vehicles and swapping parts, then it's pretty much pointless as any RX7 can be made better than any other. Stock vs Stock, the GTUs is better. (Not to mention that it doens't have the fugly s4 front bumper or lights...)

And what the hells with posting pics of GTUs with sunroofs? That's like me posting a picture of mine with the GT42R on it and saying it's better than a GTU. You can't help what tards do after it leaves the factory.

Ok, ill agree... was'nt trying to start more contraversy... haha.. just get a N/A model with LSD and whatever other amenities (SP?) you want. That would be alot easier and a good starting platform for what you sound like you are shooting for.
