I have to agree 89' is the nicest year (for GT's) only becuase you don't have to do a MAF conversion... but for LX's i'd take a 92 and only a 92. Gotta have the painted moldings.

maf conversion is simple dont let not buying an 86-88 happen just because it doesnt have mass air

nope no proof on the '89 being faster

just comparing my cars to each other. and everyone else i know who had an '89 and also a newer one.

my '89 ran 13.20's on motor , and my '93 runs 14.00 on motor w/ the same mods , my '88 was a mass air cali car and ran 14.20's 100% bone stock , 2.73's and street tires in 90* weather, i only had it about 4 months so it never got modded.

all were bone stock when i got them, both have 4.10's and mickeys , long tubes etc
the '89 of mine was a little lighter from being a manual options car and the '93 is all power, but that doesn't account for 800 lbs of added weight as the ET would show. my '89 also had convo pros and skinnys up front, but again, not that much of a diff should be seen, yes they were both 5-speeds

what is a fact is that '87-'89 had a better cam than the rest , but ford claims only 5-10 hp different

no proof, just an observation , but i'm convinced
