Watch out...I'm about to get my "crappy car" geek hat on.
The HSO motor in the GLS had an extra 14HP over the standard car. Toss in the revised gearing of the GLS model and you now have a...shit there is no where to go. It's still a Tempo.
Figure in the horrible quality control on the car, the actual rating for the HSO motor was 100HP....plus 1hp\-16hp so it was kind of wash. Either way, Ford was still designing 80K EOL (Car turns to lego blocks at 80,000miles) so at least it was short lived.
NOW if you were talking about 92 GLS with the 3.0 Vulcan and Taurus SHO transmission then it's a whole new ball game!!
