Its funny, you couldn't give away a notch back in the day, now everybody is breaking their neck trying to get one.. go figure.
Mmmm...Back in the day I did my new Mustang buying/racing, which would be from 87 to about 91, just as many people coveted notches as hatches. The hatch proved to be easier to launch for me, they plant better. But my buddy Alex like his notch's hookup better, as did my brother with his. Racers on South Chicago were mostly hatches, though you could go to any dealer and dial up whatever 5.0 you wanted. The dealers couldn't keep any 5.0 on the floor, notch or hatch. The big debate was LX vs GT. Guys who didn't know better(and info was sketchy til 87/88) asked, "Why didn't you get the GT?" as though the LX was somehow not in the same league. They learned quickly, though. I sure didn't think nobody wants a hatch now, though. Whenever I intruduce my LX hatch, which I would still never replace with a notch, to another car guy, I hear 1 of 2 responses. "Wow, thats amazing," or the usual,"Want to sell it?" The response, "Its just some hatch with stickers on it"I don't get it- while this particular specialty car isn't my thing, "just some hatch" could, can, and has, blown the trunk off many a sedan. They ain't faster.
how does my comment "it's just another hatch with a tacky decal kit to me" read as coupes are faster than hatchbacks??? that's not what i meant, nor is it reasonable to interpret that as what i said, you're seeing what you want to see and jumping to conclusions
no harm done! i was weary of you firing back and making me look like an idiot actually, haha, you seem to have a lot of knowledge and experience with these cars since before i could probably walk, let alone drive!
i love mustangs, both coupes and hatchbacks, i currently have a coupe but i'm looking into getting a 4 cyl hatch as a daily right now
Tub it, chop it, channel it, swap on a Tbird nose and wide body kit, '95 interior and a 2JZ with Naws engine swap
