J 85 GT

maybe different spring rates?

88BlueGT

It has the different front bumper, side skirts, and rear bumper. Also, comes w/ differnt seats and a few more options than the LX. Same motor, trans, etc. etc. etc.

when it comes down to it a gt with a 5.0 is a tad slower than an lx with a 5.0. This is b/c of the weight added to a gt by the

88BlueGT

Its not really the kit though because I have taken apart a GT kit a few times and its really not that heavy. The rear bumper maybe weighs a few lbs more than the LX, same w/ the front bumper (a few lbs) and the side skirts maybe weigh 3-5lbs a piece at max. Have you ever felt GT seats? They are BEAST! THey are like 60lbs if not more a piece! lol

The bracket that holds the fog lights or whatever weighs a ton. Its like a steel beam when u take that thing off! Does anyone know what im referring too? I wonder what the purpose of that was.

That plus the 20+ lbs of the fog light mounting bar, fog light mounting brackets, & foglights make it a 100lbs(1 tenth difference).
Add into the fact that GT's are almost always fully loaded(premium sterio w\amp, power everything); you can have another 50lbs+ difference in weight..... I say buy what you want\like & remove pojnds to equalize as time allows.....

ok so im looking for a 92 lx 5.0............... in 1993 the motors lost HP right??? i already got a sound system.... whos gota black lx 5.o???

anthonydalrymple

The motors did not loose power in '93; just the standard of testing & therefore rating the motor hp changed. The '86-early '92 motors have only one advantage over late '92-'93 motors in the Mustang; TRW forged pistrons versus hyperutectic pistons. If you will be building a motor with new pistons \ .030 overbore; there is no sense in worrying about it....IMHO
