Default Foxbody, SN95 (5.0 model only), or Notchback

Which is the easiest to modify and build to corner and go faster

only reason for the fox and notch separate is the weight distribution and what not and I would like a few opinions on these cars

Notch, just because of the simple reason of all the benefits of less weight.

I don't think it matters. None of theses cars are known for handling. Fox is lighter. SN95 is a little more modern but to make either handle you'll have to gut the suspension and go full aftermarket. Coilovers, adjustable dampers, solid bushings etc.

A fox (notch or hatch) is an aerodynamic brick. Take that with a grain of salt. You'd be better off using a newer model for autocross purposes, unless a complete suspension overhaul is your cup-o-tea.

In terms of straight line drag, my vote is to the notch.
