Thread cleanup once again.

A GTU is not a GTUs. Do not post without understanding this small, but important fact. Your post will be deleted and your post count will be adjusted accordingly.

Yes, it's a different model. It's the rarest model of the FC RX-7. Hence why this thread exists.

Not really, In racing / autocross, the GTUs is classes very competitively, whereas the Turbo is usually classes in the FD class, where it is dreadfully slow, comparatively. Some NA classes have bans on clutch-type and torsen LSD's, but since the GTUs has a viscous LSD, it's allowed to race against other open-diff cars.

If your budget is only enough for one car, then most people get the Turbo and have it serve all purposes (DD/racing) , but if you race and you like to be competitive in races, the GTUs is the best way to go.

Other people like the GTUs since it's the rarest model of RX-7 FC produced.

So no, people do care about it.

Make that five black 1990 GTUs's on this list. It's in colorado and needs a ton of work (175,000 miles) but the price was right and it should make a great project.

I started taking apart a 1991 turbo II Black on Black I bought from a friend who crashed it.
Only the Black dash will be replacing the blue one in the white 1990 GTUs widebody project. The engine/Transmission/Rearend/will be going onto the car as well. The Project Begins! I will post pictures of my build when it's done!

I think these were the some of the few 1989 GTUs that shipped out in 89 but were re stamped,
Weird but not one of the non re stamp original,
