Default Fox or SN95

hey, I may be selling my '86 to buy another mustang, I'm hoping to find a newer fox (91 or so) or an SN95. I was just wondering what are some of the better aspects vs. the negative aspects of an sn95. I already know a bunch of stuff about a fox so I am good with it's flaws and assets.. I am looking for a V-8 car, and a hardtop (hatchback in the fox). the transmission doesnt matter to me as long as it works.

SN95 FTW but i'd grab a 94-95 so you can still have a 5.0

Sn95s have nicer interiors and personally I think they look better, but for some reason I just like the foxes more.

88(except cali cars) and older no maf
fox has worse interior and riding quality, better drag cars and 87-92 forged internals

sn95 sensitive comp, better looks nicer ride and heavier.

keep the 4 eye. the only reason im keepin it is b/c u see sn95's all the time on the road but u dont c a 4 eye much anywhere.

well with a newer car is normally less of a risk... less wear and rust and torn up ****... if u get my drift... thats not always the case... but u can find normally find a newer car in better shape.... sn-95 are a hell of a not stiffer... tended to handle better... fox are cheaper drag cars.... sn-95 tend to be more a street car pre-say... do to the fact that the a smoother curves (easier on the eyes) and the handle better if the same mods were applied to each car... i presonally think u should try for a sn-95... u can pull a nice gt off for like 5 grand...


half of the choice is looks... the other have if what its for.... fox for drag.... sn-95 fo street.... if your goin to drive the street a lot and u like the sn-95 u mite as well get one

i love my 94's and 95's. 96-98 ok too if youre a mod guy, but why would you be on this forum right? personally i like the looks of the sn-95s better inside and out, but if you have to go to the scrapyard to find parts for the 94-95 sometimes can be hard to find or expensive. like i found out for myself piecing back together my 95 gts. but they are heavier too. about 200 lbs.which i think equals out to 2 tenths in a quarter. i think the 94 - 95's are a little touchier to major add ons like cams. but dont get me wrong bout the looks, a fox can lool very nice if its done right!
