all you have to do is match the last 4 of the vin to the GTs I've listed on the 928Registry, pretty simple
there is only 1 S4 5spd over vin 1100, all vins prior to 1100 are S4s

I got the redline wrong in mine, Jim got it right. S4 is 6600 and GT is 6800. It's a quick check item that can sometimes be caught in the first picture of the car in question.
I can confirm the more aggressive ride, handling, and power of the GT over the S4 of similar vintage.

Of course it is. But when you have your throttle cable cranked to keep the engine from stalling because your ISV is no longer noticeably functional, your TPS is not showing the LH "idle" mode, and so the LH won't regulate it to 775 rpm, will it? Not sure? Ask someone who's been in that situation, if you can find them. 
Design is one thing, actual circumstance is quite another.

Reminds me of a vintage car I bought way back. The owner let a couple of yahoos drive it around and he just held their license. They called a few blocks from the house that the car had blown a hose and there was coolant everywhere. He towed it back home, and I helped him get the big hose from the rear engine to the front rad installed. I bought the car after getting a real good look at everything underneath and in the engine area.

Not necessarily true. Fender lips factory rolled on my '90 GT.

All '90-95 S4, GT and GTS should have rolled fenders from factory.
What is last known '89 Club Sport VIN? Looking for info if first GT was done before last CS.

In Sweden there is a 1989 GT with the last 4 digits being 1722. That car was sold new i Sweden.
My car is 2157, and it was initially registered on June 13th 1989.
