Default LX - GT?

Hey guys, just wondering whats the difference between the Mustang LX's and the Mustang GT's? Specifically a 93... is it just body panels, because thats all I can really tell apart?

O yeah, and whats a notchback?

I think it's the body cladding and the taillights/lack of foglights (LX).

yea as long as the lx is a 5.0, just ground effects, fog lights, tail lights. Notch is a coupe with trunk, not a hatchback. good luck with the project.

They all have the same drive train and suspension. The GT is more of an appearance package.

The difference is the front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts, fog lights, tailights, wing, seats and most GT's had all the power options (windows, mirrors, etc.) I think the LX's came with the same options but the GT's came standard.... not positive on that though.

O, I see, so is the LX a notch or a hatchback? Cause the GT's Ive seen look like hatchbacks.. I just like the way the back window comes straight down instead of out like that.
