Best for what?

 

[rigamaroles]

Hmm...depends what you're lookin for....If you're going for comfort and braking and interior style, Go SN95. If you want a more simplistic approach and a good project, (more style imo, but I guess its an acquired taste) is the fox. If you want a fox, in my opinion, an 89 is the best year to have. No air bags, no daytime running lights, first year of MAF. The newer foxes have rolled fenders though...they all have their positives. Post more info on what you're looking for.

i like the fox cars they will always be a classic and popular. $$$$$ in the future

 

[mackey]

SN95 is the best of both worlds. 5.0 liter engine. Disc brakes, airbags, 5 lugs. That is why I chose it.

 

[HISSIN50]

Yes.

 

[srothfuss]

I'm going to vote NO.

Also a tilt steering wheel, No saggy map pockets...PB

i personally prefer Fox Body Mustangs more then the SN-95 body style, i like everything about them, as Rigamaroles said "no airbags, no daytimes running lights" which i like, i think the interior in the fox body mustangs look better,
and i personally think the Fox Body Mustangs Look More Mean And it has that ILL KICK YOUR ASS ANYDAY type look

From someone who has had a Fox, and now an SN95, I'd personally say get the SN if you want more creature comforts. Everything mechanical from the two is interchangable for the most part (suspension, engine, brakes, etc.), but the SN has better seats, 5 lug, 4 wheel disk brakes, ABS, R134a in the AC (so you can actually get a hold of some refrigerant), you can fit wider wheels on the SN, it has driver and passenger air bags, better computer (once tuned, but some will debate this all day and we'll still be at the same place we started from), better handling, and a stiffer chassis. The con is that they do weigh more than their Fox counterparts, but the additional things I mentioned make up for the difference in my opinion. Now if you want to go balls to the wall, get the Fox. They're lighter, there's more on the road, so parts are cheaper, and there's more room in the engine bay to work on them. Not to mention all of the SN parts will fit on them to make them handle and brake every bit as well. This is of course my opinion, but it's unbiased because I have had both. And one thing that rigamaroles mentioned is daytime running lights. No Mustangs sold in the USA have them, so unless you're in Canada, that's a non-issue.

i agree with the comfort thing the fox cars ride rough. but i still prefer it,

The one and only

Thanks for the tilt, I was thinking of it as I was typing, but as I was typing I forgot to write it. And the map pockets, blech, dont even get me started. As far as Im concerned, a muscle car isnt supposed to be a comfortable car. Thats just me...thats why I choose fox body...I've never known a person thats had a fox that didnt love the hell out of their car. My car has no a/c, no power windows or locks, all plain jane. And in my opinion, thats how a muscle car should be.
