That would be a 1991 "coupe" model. 91 had just 3 trims. coupe, turbo, vert. No GXL, GTU business.

Negative. The only N/A s5 to come from the factory with a LSD is the GTUs. All s5 Turbos got one though.

In the S4 realm all GXL's got them, the 1988 GTU came with it and all Turbo's.

It is indeed an s5, but it does not have an LSD, no models in 91 I think came with them except for the turbo I think, since the last year for the GTUs was 90 I thought?

Trust me, from experience.

In a bright red FC... don't speed period, don't appear to be speeding, don't be in 3rd at 50mph, because they will stop you even if you SOUND like you're revving your engine high.

...or maybe the cops here are just ********?

I was pulled over several times when I had a race pipe N/A FC just for the exhaust being loud. Got one ticket for the exhaust which I beat in court.

The FC just asks to be pulled over. Not sure why. My 350z blends in like a Kia compared to it.

that's very very true, lol.

how come no one mentioned that the S5's come with the horrible VLSD and not a normal clutch type LSD that's found in the S4?
