Nothing besides dual airbags and ETCS really. I've owned both an early series GT-TL and now a 97 VVTi L-Package... the 97 actually has less factory fruit than my 93.

Not sure about the turbos, but our '97 n/a has woodgrain, cruise, power seats and maybe a few other doodads like "intelligent auto 'box" our pov pack '95 didn't have. The '95 did however have the "premium stereo" with the subwoofer, this is obviously an option and not part of the G-Pack. It has twin airbags and ABS, but as noted these are standard on late '97 models whether turbo or n/a.

Both of my Soarers had/have cruise control, TEMS, ABS, power seats, wood grain, top-spec dash and a driver's airbag.

From what I remember the 93 Soarer (on-top of the above) sunroof, heated mirrors, LCD rear view mirror and adjustable rear headrests.

My 97 has a passenger's airbag, ETCS, different gearbox and diff and 7-speaker sound system.

I don't know how to describe it, the full digital dash that shows all the warnings etc. An updated version of the full digital dash (e.g. from the V8 and GTTL turbos).

From what I've read about the GTT and GTTL TT's standard and option differences, is the below correct.

GTT Standard
Manual seats
No TEMS suspension
Basic velour seat design
GTT may have any combination of below

Options 0n GTT
Woodgrain trim
Back brake light (between back speakers)
Cruise control
LSD
Back seats have adjustable headrest
Leather steering
Sunroof
Airbags
Spoiler
Front Lip
Rear Window Wiper
ABS

GTT-L standard
Power seats
Leather steering wheel
TEMS shocks (control the dampeners, not airbags)
Anti-lock brakes
Woodgrain trim
Scrolling dash (LCD with japanese messages)
Cruise control
Better velour design
Back seats have adjustable headrest
Back brake light (between back speakers)
Cargo net on back

Options on a GTTL
TRC
LSD
Sunroof
Airbags
Shake n Bake Side mirrors
Spoiler
Front Lip
Rear Window Wiper
LCD rear mirror
Air purifier
Leather interior

I think late model turbo L-spec Soarers don't have adjustable headrests ever.
Model codes denoting whether you've got a GTT (Pov-Pak) or GTT-L (Luxo-Pak) TT are below.
These codes are found on the Toyota data plate, which is attached to the drivers side inner fender.
JZZ30-ACMVZ (GTT with manual trans)

JZZ30-ACPVZ (GTT with auto trans)

JZZ30-ACMZZ (GTT-L with manual trans)

JZZ30-ACPZZ (GTT-L with auto trans)

Josh, late model factory GT-L models are only available in automatic.

A Soarer is one of my dream cars too.

I thought GT-L was a V8, hence the auto only.

I dont think F40 were ever complianced for Australian roads so you just to learn to appreciate the soarer
I know soarers have depreciated greatly but it doesnt change its value in my eyes.

Thanks Jose, your car looks awes! I thought this was true so I went for a JZZ30 vvti GT-L rather than a pov pack manual vvti.

I wonder what others would choose?

Benny, we are refering to the GT-L in the JZZ30 which is the luxury one with alot of options as stock, still not as many as UZZ31 limited though.

Still no manual in the 1996+ ST models though, so far as I recall from reading production information.

Edit: In fact, Michael points this out in the second post in this thread!

Josh, you bought a new Soarer?

I like driving manual but I like my little luxuries too :-) If my car wasn't driven everyday the manual would've been my pick but Sydney peak hour SUCKS. I still miss my sunroof though... who's got an angle grinder?

Yeah I was looking for ages for a vvti. In particular I wanted a black on black manual with all the luxury stuff. But I never found one of couse.

So I got a 96 blue/silver vvti GT-L with every option except: LSD, Shake n Bake Side mirrors, LCD rear mirror and leather interior. I will add the previous options on in time but I am very happy with its appointments!

It such a good car, its amazing. Plus its the first turbo car I've driven and I love how it comes on so hard. Will have to post it up in the welcome thread when I get some time.

Manual would be good but I take an auto GTL over a manual povo vvti! The sunroof is heavenly, maybe go an aftermarket one later. Done any mods Jose?

Nice Josh! Damn your sunroof though... if I keep my car long enough it's getting one fitted. Actually it sounds exactly like mine bar the sunroof.

Not too many mods since I bought the car while I was still studying (Japanese 19's, HID kit, lowered springs and Trust exhaust) but as things are picking up I'm planning on doing a little bit here and there jsut to make it a little bit more special.


Muz,
It's tempting mate, very tempting. I just can't stand my daily grind home from Bondi to Auburn after work haha.
