This is kind of assumed but anyway -- since there isnt a bodykit on the LX its lighter, therefore faster, but not by much.

The LX comes either as a 5.0L V8 or the 2.3L V4. And is without the ground effects and all of that. It also can come with a standard style trunk, called "notch back" or it can come as a hatch.

The GT only comes as a hatch back (except the convertable), and has all of the body kit things on the outside, and it ONLY comes with the 5.0L V8, there is no 4-cylinder option for the GT.

there actually is such a thing as a V4 just not in mustangs they come on some crotch rockets and other bikes I am sure there is also some car out there that has one to. But good call on the fix.
