How much harder is a 94-95 to work on than a Fox Body?

94-95 is stiffer tha any FOX body
Even 94-95 Convertible won't flex like 87-93 GT/LX not convertible

Yep but it's heavier. Besides, a fox body is plenty stiff after sfc's and a cage. Im kind of pissed. The yellow 94 GT I was looking at, appears to be sold.

There is no arguing with the look of a fox body. I like box cars, thank you very much. The yellow 94 GT I thought they sold, they didnt. So who knows.

No problem. I seem to be in a smartass mood most of the time. I would recommend a 94-95, they are not difficult at all really. Most any car has its own quirks and things that are more or less difficult than another car. These are cake compared to the F bodies as you well know, and so many parts are out there for them they are fairly cheap to mod. The only thing cheaper would be an older SBC, but we dont talk like that in here.

Let me get this straight, F-bodys are GM cars , FOX body are 79-93 Mustangs

One more thing, leave 93 MUstang GT and 94 Mustang GT out side for one full year without paint and find out which one will be rustier

Ummm, yep, we are talking about F-Bodys and fox bodys here. F-Body = horrible

If you leave a fox body and a 94-95 outside with no paint, they will rust the same! Unless there is something magic on the metal that keeps a 94-95 from rusting without paint.

Oh and I live in Florida, so go fish.

How much you wanna bet that fox will be 70% more rustier than 94-95

You havent been around the paint and body industry at all have you? If neither has paint or primer, they are both gonna rust the same. They are made out of the same stuff for the most part and this is Florida, so no snow here.

Now if you are willing to buy a fox body, a 94-95 and sand them down, then leave both outside, feel free to post your results in 2006.

Dang it, i was thinkin i didn't have to reply again but just for the record, here in Erie ,PA is tons of 94-98 Stangs and even more Fox body Mustangs, and i didn't see non of 94-98 that are rusted like Fox body even 93 Fox (because its last year and 94 is close to 93)

Both 87-93 and 94-95 5.0 are easy to mod but in mine opinion 94-95 Looks better and thats why i drive one

from my experience, fox's might have a LITTLE more engine bay room, than 94+'s but nothing to brag about.

My neighbors have a supercharged fox-body and a turbocharged fox-body .They have a little more room compared to my 95. Its not much like others said, but I am guessing that extra room makes routine maintenance a little easier.


:OT: Hey Speeds8erM-1, did you see that Tito Ortiz was on Jimmy Kimmel tonight? Pretty cool to see .
