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...

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.
