Has anyone bothered asking if it's a S4 GXL or a S5 GXL? One's cool, the other's a tubby bastard.

1986-1988 = S4; 1989-1991 = S5. The S5 GXLs don't have an LSD stock.

My AAS still works amazing enough, you cant really notice a hell of alot of difference and believe me ive tested it thoroughly. Ill be happy when i can afford coil overs . Back on topic, gxl's are nice cars, the additional power equipment is nice. As for the whole weight topic, if thats a big concern gut your interior out, I must of pulled 20-50 pounds of smelly carpet and plastic trim pieces out of mine.

No 91 GXL models.

GXL models were only made 86-90.

In '91 the only models were the Coupe, the Turbo, and the Convertible.

You would need a 91 "A" package equipped coupe to be equipped close to a 89-90 GXL.

And the S5 GXL models didn't come with a LSD
