gtus were series 5, gtu was series 4. I believe that the gtus had the same suspension/brakes as the turbo and an aluminum hood.

The GTUs also is the only model with the 4.30 ring and pinion for quicker acceleration.

the 90 GTUs is the really rare one, 89GTUs is not so rare, but far less common than say a GXL.

yeah, but I've seen quite a few 89 GTUs for sale, not a 90 yet though.
