We will see if they accept my final offer…we have been going back and forth for a while… if this doesn’t work out I am going to look at an LS1 z28. I am in no hurry to get something and have been low balling the hell out of people. ---

I loved my fox, and I plan on getting one again. Stock they’re smogged to shit and as a result, are very slow. Get a decent heads, cam, and intake combo and they’re quick fun to drive cars. Don’t get an AOD unless you plan on swapping in a c4. ---

> [@JustinH](#): > > Build a Tbird or Cougar with a 302… > > They are nicer to drive… And a ton heavier. One of the major appeals of the Fox 'Stang is its “lightness” Like the F-body to GTO comparison. Same motor, but the F-body will be .5-1.0 faster mod for mod. That’s a pretty good difference. Granted the GTO is a better over all car than any F-body, but will never be as fast or fun to drive due to weight penalty. If you were looking for a decently quick DD, A T-bird or Cougar (just like a GTO) would be a better choise. ---

Meh,a Fox body mustang has a curb weight of 3100-3300,a 83-87 cougar will weigh 3100-3200,T-Birds tip the scales a little bit more at 3300-3400.Being that they’re all fox platform,they’ll have similar weight.I do believe the lightest fox body car is the fairmont,which is in the 2800 range. ---

The 89+ was a way better car and tipped the sclaes form anywhere between 3550 and 3725 depending on options. The fox body 'Stang weighed anywhere between [FONT=Verdana]2,754-3,350lbs, depending on year and model while the Sn 95s ranged from 3,055-3,565. [/FONT] ---

Fox Mustangs still have huge aftermarket support.Chassis is very build-able; the only two cars in the sixes on a radial tire are both mustangs and doing it on stock style suspension with no bars.They are also easy to work on. ---

After going back and forth decided to not go fox body and get another LS1 however I think I am waiting a little longer since there are some nice pre modded ones for 10k…and I would also like to buy a house in the next year. ---

I am on the prowl for a vette this winter but by all means if I can find a rocking deal on a Z-28 I will be on it.
