1. Parts Availability.
2. Ease of Modification
3. True American Muscle Car
4. Cost Effective
5.It outperforms majority of traffic.
6.I can fit in tight parking spaces and manuever through traffic well, cause its so little.
7.When Suspension and chassis is setup properly , it handles corners with quick recoveries.


I have owned modern Chevy's and Foreign Cars, a Camaro, and a few others, but I must say, the Fox Mustang has unique American Style and Feel , that never gets boring.

They are the #1 car at the 1/4 mile tracks the audience wants to see and prompted production and implementation of aftermarket automotive performance parts and acessories.

Crap, I'm old


Cause I was 16 in 1989 and these cars were the shiznit.
Nothing could beat them, except for the odd bad *** I-ROC-Z and
rice was something you had with chinese food.

Always wanted one, they're relatively cheap, very quick and very fun
Exactly. I was a freshman in college in 92 and test drove a used 91 LX 5.0 and fell in love with it. I wanted that car so bas I could not see straight. Dad test drove it with me and almost killed us going into second around a corner. He drove it back and said no way - the car is too much car for you. He and I ended up going halves on a 91 Dodge Stealth. I bought a 99 GT in 99 and had to sell it when I got married due to a baby. Still always missed that 91.

TORQUE!! I was 19 year old Marine back in 93 and my second car was 92 5.0 LX. I just fell in love with torque that pushed me into my seat. And with no emission law in South Carolina, my car sounded like a vintage P-51 Mustang from WW2 .

I wanted a muscle car. There is no way in hell I could afford the big block 1970 Dodge Charger which I drool over. Never like Chevy's so the camaro was out. I have a Dodge Daytona Shelby which is almost as fast as my FOX, but not as easy or cheap to modify. When It came time to buy my Mustang, I almost bought an integra GSR but I realized that I could buy a mustang cheaper, and it was faster to boot. (not to mention, it drives thr proper wheels. I knew I wanted a 5.0L engine, casue the non PI head GT's are slow with out lots of mods, and PI headed cars are too expensive. Then I decided that I wanted the FOX simply because I don't like the exterior looks of the SN95, and I have always liked the hatchbach style of car.
