there are some differences. i know for sure that they have heavy duty cooling, which includes a different fan clutch. they might have better brakes, unsure. they also included a more powerful than stock alternator. the rest of the board members will give u all the info u need

I bought mine back in 96 with 62K miles for $5000 at auction. It's a 1991. The coolant lines are blue silicone (still original), the alternator was 130 amp with external regulator (replace with G3 rebuild ASAP), 160mph speedo, trunk release button under and left of steering wheel, a "donut" style oil cooler sandwiched between the filter and block with coolant running to it (makes you use shorter filter), polyeurethane bushings, full size 10 hole spare wheel with mounted tire in the trunk. I also heard that it has a reinforced flloorboard, different AC components, and chip. I've heard from others that they had no special chip, and I can't confirm the floorboard or AC stuff. My AC does, however, have 180K miles on it in Florida and still works great. My fuel pump has always been loud, so maybe that's different too (I don't know). Mine has power windows and locks. It also comes with a spotlight, a bunch of holes in the dash, roof, and trunk lid from removed electronics, and a ragged out T5. It continues to run like new.
