No, seriously. It *IS* slow. I don't know what it's issue is at the moment, at first it was stuck aux ports, then the VDI wasn't working. In need of some help. Oher than that, it's perfect. Just a few spots along the sunroof that need to be repainted, and the clear coat is fading along the door. Other than that it's perfect. I was wondering when you'd notice I got one

What's the deal with everyone being against the moon roof? It's not spectacular or anything, but I didn't know it was that hated. I've never have had one.... but I like the T-tops in the Z32. I like how light it makes the car inside at night.
Maybe I would hat it if I had it.

Well. I don't mind the stock one all that much, but this one's not stock, and it makes the GTUs seem a bit 'fake', althought it does look pretty nice being able to see the stars at night.

What's the rarity for the track models in color vs years vs options again? Isn't it something like:
1987/88 Sport - Fairly common
1987/88 Sport 2+2 - lucky dog
1989 GTU-S Red - fairly rare
---(ac or factory moonroof - wow)
1989 GTU-S Black - very rare
---(ac or factory moonroof - wow)
1989 GTU-S White - OMG You lucky SOB
---(ac or factory moonroof - wow)
1990 GTU-S White, Red, Black - You best be a bonified Rotorhead or sell it to me now!!!
--- (ac or factory moonroof - wow)

Yo,
I believe the only GTUs factory option is the A/C. Sunroofs were not an option and make the car more desirable. That's why people hate to see sunroofs on GTUs.
It's been my experience that for color rarity it goes:
White > Red > Black
You hardly see any black GTUs.

Dang that was one hell of a day to bring him down to get it. But then once i saw it I knew it was worth the trip. Everything on it almost looks perfect. The pictures dont even give it justice.

Hey Rattie,
I've sent you a couple of Pms and emails, but you haven't answered, so I'm sending to the forum, since you are active here. I called on the car as it was in autotraderonline.com not knowing that you had purchased it already. I figured with my luck and the odds that the one Tom Day owned had to be the one you bought. If it IS the Tom Day car you bought, I know what you paid, and I'll give you an additional $1800 once you get it "faster." No kidding. If you want to keep it and turbo it, that's fine and up to you and all that, but if I had a GTUs I'd keep it the way it is now, (yeah, even with the moon roof) and just maybe change the fifth gear ratio for better mileage on the Interstate at 80 mph (but maybe not, I'd have to see.) Anyway, just wanted you to know that I'm a buyer if you're a seller, hate to forum this, but I had no other apparent choice. And, if you're not selling I'm STILL LOOKING FOR A NICE GTUs.
Regards to all,
Tom Reynolds
