The SPG is a trim level, the highest level offered. On the interior, it included leather seats, the best radio, leather shift boot, AC, etc. On the exterior, you got the body cladding and 3-spoke rims. '87 and newer cars got slightly lower, stiffer springs, and stiffer shocks. Depending on the year, you got a small boost in horsepower.
You can upgrade the performance of your '87 to the fastest SPGs by installing a 3.0 bar fuel pressure regulator (available from any non-turbo 2.0 liter 16-valve engine in a junkyard), and swapping out a couple resistors in the APC, which is the boost controller. Google "tweakyourapc" or "APC mod" for more details.
The transmission is the weak link in this car; abuse it, and it will respond by dying...
