GTU or GXL

I did a search for info on GTU and GXL and now I'm really confused. Some people say that in 1990 the gxl is better, but in 1988 the gtu is better. All I'm worried about is handling & power, not comfort and other luxuries. I thought that the GTU had better handling suspension, better tranmission and was lighter, than the GXL which was more comfortable with more plush options??
What is the best FC N/A road race car from1986 to 1991.
I'm looking at a 1990 GTU and I'm waiting for ya'll input before I buy. The car will be completly stripped and race only.

Thanks Brett.

GTU and GXL both had the big brakes But the GTU will be a few pounds lighter (not so much power stuff) and IIRC , no sunroof. For competition, it's the better bet.
Handeling is another beast anyway because you'd be wanting to replace a lot of the stock stuff (struts/bushings/ anti-roll bars) anyway, right?
