Default 88-93 ? or 94 or 95?

i was wondering what you guys think of the 94 95 5.0 and how you would rate them compared to the 92 and 93.
compard in price and power and comfort.

also i know this is the wrong place for this but what about the 95+ 4.6 how would you guys rate that compard to the 5.0?
just making sure i buy something im going to be happy with.

thanks,

joe

My opinion is the 88-93 is the best way to go.I just love the 87-93 body style they look awesome.

Yeah the 88-93 is the way to go. The 94-95 sn's are good too, but they look too much like a car a mom would drive. No pun intended to anyone that owns one of course.

The 89-93's are way better. They dont handle quite as well but who cares when its a FOX!

The 4.6L began in '96.

Stock vs. stock I believe a Fox would easily take the 94-95 5.0L.

Yep... The fox was just born to live at the track. The sn95's don't get the same traction as the 88-93's... Their weight transfer lacks where the 88-93's have fairly good weight transfer from factory. From what I see at the track, the sn's are usually 3 or 4 mods in, just to keep up with a stock 88-93.

Power wise the fox's are probably a little better, but when you start modding you won't even notice the difference. It's a matter of preference. I love my 95GT...seems to corner better than my dads fox. I don't know where you heard the fox's had better traction, because ive always heard the opposite. I believe the 95's are wider...but not sure about that. If you do go fox definatly go for speed density, and forged pistons. Not sure when the forged pistons were...think 89-92 but not sure.

Anything before 94 looks outdated in my opinion. The fox 3's had a horrible boxy body style. Go with 94 or newer. They improved the platform in 1994.

Outdated or a classic?
