GTU, limited slip?

I've always heard from several different places that the GTU has a standard LSD, but then i've seen about 8 or 9 GTU's in real life and all of them except one had no LSD. Everything I read bullshit? Or is it just my luck to see 8 where the rear has been pulled?

straight from the FAQ:

Did my 2nd Gen RX-7 come with a Limited Slip Differential?
Only the following FCs had a LSD from the factory:
86-88 GXL
87-91 T2
88 GTU
89-90 GTUs (however not the 89-90 GTU)
It is also rumored that a few rare 91 coupes with both the A (upgraded the interior trim, added a power sunroof, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, and 4 piston front disc brakes and vented single piston rear brakes) and the B package (leather seating, a CD player, and rear cargo cover) came with a LSD, but you should note that Mazda denies that any FC other than the T2 came with a LSD in 91). You can also tell by looking at the differential as there will be a LSD tag on S4 cars with a LSD.




If you are referring to the S5 GTU, it wont because it was the base model from then on out IIRC.
