Just looking for the difference between a Gt model and a GT-S model. I have a JDM GT-S?

It depends on the year, but basically the GT and the GT-S were quite similar.

ABS was standard on a GT and a option on a GT-S

Traction control was optional on a GT but only available as a set with ABS on a GT-S

The windshield on a GT was tinted, the GT-S was not

The GT came standard with Power folding mirrors, Not avail. on Gt-S

The GT seats were combo leather/fabric seats, the GT-S was only fabric
The head rests on a GT were leather, the GT-S were fabric

The GT came with a 8 speaker Super live sound system standard and the GT-S only a standard 6 speaker system, but both had the option to upgrade to a DSP 8 speaker super live sound system.

The GT came with a FM diversity antenna standard and the GT-S could only get it with a 8 Super live sound system option

I have a 90 GT and a 92 GTS

Both have auto climate control and steering fogs.
GT is a hardtop the GTS a t-top.
GT has ABS, GTS doesn't.
GTS has LSD, GT doesn't.
GT has elec folding mirrors, GTS doesn't.

Loads of GT and GTs cars here in the UK. really cheap right now too.

Goes along with everything I have said, except that reminded me I forgot one thing.

GT had Steering fogs, on a GT-S it was optional.

The Traction control does keep the car straight, but the return delivery of power is a little slow. I would not call the system Crap.

The ABS system works good. Deffinately not crap either. Maybe someone has compared 0-100-0? Be interesting.

One thing to point out, is that the traction control was only paired with the 4 channel ABS system, or at least that's my understanding. I still don't understand why they didn't offer the 4 channel ABS here in the states.

Interesting. I ask because the traction control on my parent's 1998 Camry is crap. It's either on or off and when it turns off the additional power can be enough to trigger it again.

GT models came with most things as standard where as GTS models had to be spec'd up with options that where standard on the GT model, so you could have a GTS with exactly the same level of options as a GT. There were also options that were not not standard on either model (Traction control/ cruise control/sat Nav + many more) but could be added to the car when it was ordered.

on a side note i might add the gts was more perfomance oriented cause it was slightly lighter than the gt model and had more rigidity due to it being a hard top
but then again the weight difference could be due to it having less interior goodies

also how do i check if i have lsd on my 92 turbo?
