RE: Fox body questions
the difference in weight is the most notable thing you'll pick up on. the del sol is gonna' be light on it's feet and "tossable" where as the mustang has a chance to handel good if improve the suspenision properly, but you'll always notice that it's not gonna' react as quick as the honda on the twisties just b/c of it's weight. you'll have to change your thinking about driving ... meaning you'll have to think ahead more often than not and evaluate the course/track more than you would in a honda.

RE: Fox body questions
I couldnt possible imagin anyone being dissapointed going from a Honda to a Fox. If you want it to handle like a beast than just take the 3-4K buy a Fox and put 1,500 into a nice suspension and than use the rest of the $$ for minor bolt ons.

RE: Fox body questions
MOst definately get a Fox. SN95's are cool, but If you want it to handle, or run good 1/4 times, the sn95 is not a good platform to start with. Unless you find one cheap and throw a supercharger on is and suspension mods. That should see mid 13's and handle well 
But you'll look better doing it in a Fox! (87-93)

Listen the lug nuts of the fox require more torque than your honda's makes.

of course, I hope you realise we aren't talking about a stock del Sol. nor are we talking about a bolt-on del Sol.
