Relax gearbanger, I never said the NE is a POS. I happen to own one, however the Fox is my true love.
When i was selling my '03 GT, i got about 3 offers to trade a 4-wheeler plus cash for the car.
I don't understand this thing, either. I see this in every other ad where someone's selling a Fox - "Will also trade for ATV or sandrail/dune buggy." WTF?!? Is EVERYONE ditching street cars for off-road toys, these days? I just don't understand the trend, myself...
When the GT500 was announced, I was given the okay by The Wife to get one if I really wanted one. I even went to the extent of putting a deposit down at the local dealership to get their first one at list price. After thinking about it for several weeks and realizing that I'd have to get rid of my 'vert to have room for it, I declined. I still don't regret it.
I bought my car in 1999 with only 30,000 miles on it and have spent the last 10 years and 75,000 miles modding it to be exactly the way I want it. I honestly can't tell you how much it would take to get me to sell it.
So a New Edge is a piece of **** because is a couple hundred pounds heavier than a Fox???...c'mon man, you've got to do better than that! How does that statement make sense? Hell, an S197 is heavier than both of them and it’s twice the car the SN95 is and 3-times the car the Fox is by comparison.
Besides, we all know that despite the slightly heavier curb weight, comparing both cars in stock trim has the New Edge SN95 outrunning, out handling, out stopping and strait up outperforming its predecessor by leaps and bounds....so what difference did that extra 100-200lbs make?
Not digging the SN95 because of the style, or complexity (even if it is marginal by comparison) or because of some nostalgic value one would place on their Fox is one thing…and certainly more than enough reason to choose one car over the other, but these are subjective personal preferences at best. Really, if the New Edge is a piece of **** and it’s an improved version of the Fox, does that make the Fox diarrhea by comparison?
good thing most of us dont leave our foxes stock, IMO i think mechanically foxes can achieve things much easier than the sn95 and the new edge can
I'd sell.
As much as I love my car, if an offer like that ever crosses my lap...it's gone.
Hellooooo 03/04 Cobra!!
I'd love to get back into a 99-04 Mustang. I loved mine. I really want an Azure Blue '04 Mach 1, but i'll settle for a termi
I'm not actively seeking to sell my Fox, but if i'm ever at a show and someone legitimately makes a good offer...it's gone.
I'd say that's debatable...in any case, taking the thread it in this direction is probably now what the original posters is looking for though.
The debatable part was based on the statement "mechanically foxes can achieve things much easier than the sn95 and the new edge can". At certain power levels and with particular methods of achieving such this may be somewhat true, but in just as many instances, using other methods it is not.+1 to all of that.. I love my fox but if the right offer came along i'd sell...
Not really.. Anything can be made better...
If you sink money into your fox of course you can make it out handle, our brake, or run any of the newer generation mustangs..
But you can then inturn mod those cars to out do the modded fox..
then the fox guy can mod more.. Its just a cycle of modding...

Hey...I remain objective. Besides, someone needs bring some of you guys back down to reality once and a while.Why is it that the only times I ever see you consistently/actively posting in 5.0 talk is when its an argument of Fox vs anything newer? Hmmm?
See, now you're just guessing because the Fox happens to be a little bit lighter as a general rule. That aside, does the SN95's stiffer and more rigid over all design, or waaaay superior brakes not work its way into the equation anywhere here? Sorry man, but unless you've got hard numbers to back that up, you're speculating at best.well lets put it this way, put a max grip box on a fox, and put a max grip box on a sn95 or new edge, that fox is gonna drive circles around both of them
