I wish there was more than a "like" option. Couldn't agree moreI owned a 2001 5sp Gt, and it was a great car. Light years in technology, handling, braking and comfort over the fox platform. That being said, you can''t compare the two, It's like asking if you would trade your SN95 for a SN197. IMO the Fox Mustang is responsible for bringing back Ford and the Muscle Car era and its popularity 20 years later is a testament to how important it still is.
I understand what you're saying and agree with what you can do with the platform (ie brakes,suspension,etc). But I don't agree with the looks department. I didn't like them when they changed in '94 and I don't like them now. The design did nothing for me. IMO it was boreing and ugly. By 01 they started looking better but again I didn't have a desire to own one. I actually bought a 00 CAMARO SS back then instead(blasphemy I know)I guess I'm kinda the oddball here. If I could have another 94-95 but have it as light as my nothcback I'd trade. Of course I'd put all the drivetrain and suspension I'm putting on my notch. I personally like the styling of the SN95 body. I love the fact that I can put a set of 315s on the back without having to modify anything, upgrading to Cobra brakes is just a matter of changing caliper brakets, calipers, and rotors, it already has 4 wheel disc brakes and 5-lug wheels and it's little more comfortable ride. It's also more aerodynamic than the fox. Don't get me wrong, I love my foxbodies though. I've own 3 of them(91 GT, 86 GT, 88 notch).

I never cared too much for the look of the 94-98s either, look like an Oldsmobile Alero.
