The SN system is FAR superior. its a faster processor, had better diagnostic systems, AND will run a car with major mods just fine, as long as the car is mechanically sound in the first place.

As far as the 200lb difference, GT to GT, its about a 100lb difference.

Adder knows his stuff, the sn95 IS the superior chassis and car in general, as much as I like my fox, I wish I coulda afforded a clean SN... but I scooped up my fox for real cheap... so, I couldnt complain

SNs are the better car.. no doubt. Between my 98 gt and my 88gt.. the 98 is just a all around better car.. even though its probably a 21 second car.. it just feels more sturdy and strong

I always feel like something is gonna break on my car when I drive it...

but thats prolly due to all the rattles, creaks and the rough ride due to only having new shocks on the car...

then I get on it... and my worry dissapears haha

I'd personally NEVER get rid of my SN for a Fox. Every time I ride in a fox it feels like it's going to fall apart around me...

All right lets not start a battle of name calling, certain posts have been edited for content and will remain as such and if they are reversed by any poster, you will be put on PA and or banned..........LET'S keep the thread on topic, and not enter into the sn-95 vs fox war, My feelings on the subject are it is a matter of what you like, I have had numerous foxes and worked on numerous sn-95's to the point I know what both have to offer. To each his own, now back on topic.

to the OP:

Your complaining about your dd ls1 having issues but it obvious that you only buy cars that have high mileage and need work. Why don't buy something you can afford to do keep running and keep up maintenance on. This is a problem with todays youth. You see so many "kids" buying these G35's, 350Z's, cobras, SS's, etc, etc, and they end up selling because they can't afford to replace the alternater, rotors, fuel pump, you name it. good luck.

no one should ever say "problem with todays youth" im 18. in hs. my car breaks, i either fix it if i have the money. and if i dont. i hop on my bike until i can. and i would never even consider touching a mechanic.
so how bout you say, "heres YOUR problem" not heres the YOUTHS problem.
