The difference isn't that much. A '94-'95 GT with a T5 weighs in at ~3380lb with a full tank of gas while an '89 GT with a T5 is ~130lb lighter.
Indeed....its when you start getting into the Fox Body Coupe's Vs. '94-'95 GT....and more so a lesser optioned Coupe where the weight difference really becomes apparent.
Not to mention other ways of reducing weight. Lots and lots of heavy stuff you can replace or remove.

My 95 weighs 3300 with me in it, but even so, the 90 LX it replaced felt lighter. But I never had it weighed.
Everything else being equal, the Fox body will be a little lighter.

There are the GTS/248A cars which might be slightly lighter sn95s....basically a V6 with a 5.0.
Are they in fox coupe range? Prob not...but the superior brakes/chassis rigidity and modern styling might be worth it depending on what your goals are

A Fox LX is ~75lb lighter than a Fox GT and ~210lb lighter than an SN95 5.0 GT with a T5.
I've got mine down to about the same weight as a Fox GT.
Each trim will be different (auto, manual, leather, locks, vert, fuel, etc.). My 94Gt Coupe 5-speed stock was little over 3450lbs. After alluminum heads, driveshaft, etc. it was 3250lbs.
The 94-95 has a beefier frame, ABS Brakes, Extra Air Bag and a few other things which makes it heavier than your average FOX platform. Those things also make a little better car in my opinion, I had both.
