Okay first off, a cam, boltons, and exhaust is NOT heavily modified.

Anyway, I'm gonna assume it's a coupe since you didn't mention it's a vert. The coupes I think weigh in around 3300lbs or so. I know my vert weighed 3460 (T5). I think we're generally 200lbs? heavier than similar foxes. That's only good for 2 tenths, so don't sweat the extra weight. Instead focus on the better suspension, brakes, looks (opinion), etc. etc.

well heavily modded compared to what they normally have..

I never knew it was only 200lbs though.. I'm sold.

I'm sick of fox handling and braking..

I'll probably take off a good 100lbs anyways..


I heard these cars are harder to work on though?

I'd want to lower this car.. add a Cobra R hood and probably a cobra front bumper.. where do you reccomend buying these parts and how much does this normally run?


are you sure its 3300lbs?

its pretty much optionless too.. no power windows, cloth, manual, coupe etc..


Btw I know what heavily modified is.. I've owned a few foxbodys I'm just new to this area.

Where I work we have a set of truck scales, a guy I worked with had an 88 gt that was close to 3300 and his wife's car was a 2002 and it was just a little over 3400.

I weighed my 95 gt T5 coupe when it was bone stock and it was 3295

No they really aren't harder to work on. There's a little less room in the engine bay maybe, but it's the same motor, so of course the actual wrenching isn't any harder (I've worked on both).

Pretty sure it's right around 3300.

I see from your sig you had quite a fox, cool!

this enlightened me. i never realized they were as light as they are. i thought they were more like 35xx and like 37xx for a vert. hmmm good stuff man

The vert weighs 3450 +-according to edmunds http://www.edmunds.com/used/1994/ford/mustang/11015/prices.html and the gt weights like 3280 +-. I took my vert down to 3230 after some massive deletes.

I was hesitant to post but it also states the 2dr 1990 gt at 2827 in weight...2900+ for the vert, lx 5.0 2761pds..BUT it states the same weight for the 4cyl as the 5.0 so who knows? Thinking out loud , I guess the 5.0 adds 150 pounds or so?

Lighten the car....

-Carbon Fiber or Fiberglass Hood, Fenders, Trunk. (put on lighter hood springs)
-Remove smog stuff ...mine was about 17lbs (if i remember right)
-EGR delete
-Remove spare tire, trunk lining panels
-Remove rear seats n' Seatbelts (in REAR ONLY) (if you don't wanna leave it open you can get a rear seat delete kit on ebay)
-You can take out the insulation from behind panels, but i don't feel it's worthe the extra work.
-can take out center console if ya don't care what it looks like inside
-Move the Battery to Trunk to get weight over axle
-Delete A/C ...if you want, i wouldn't but you can lose weight with all the A/C equip.
