I'm starting to wonder if my 86 is even a GXL.... I never looked into it really. I heard there were 86 and 87 "sport" models with aero parts but not everything the GXL had.



My 86 has the 5 lug suspension with 4 piston calipers, power sunroof and the black rear aero wing or lip. It doesn't have AAS, power windows, or stock cruise. Is it the sport model or the GXL? I thought in 86, they only had the 4 lug base and the 5 lug GXL but not sure...

yeah im thinking the same thing. i have the color history of themazda rx7 and the gxl and the sport package both have the same rims and the little black lip spoiler. but i know mines is a gxl cause it has the auto adjust suspension and the sport model didnt come with that lol. i have power windows, power mirrors and rear windshield wiper

by now i have learned that any model can basically have any feature, because of different option packages right mike?

The sport model is the best. You get sporty suspention, that cool lip, and its lighter. Mine came with huge fog lights that don't work anymore.
