ORIGINAL: Halfpint5.0

I like my LX just 'cuz it has a little bit cleaner styling, with the same power *and more functional wing--no gap, so better downforce*

Only thing I would change would be foglights--driving at night, in rain, is no fun... thinking about some SN-95 lights in the bumper though... just gotta see if they fit.

The wing actually does nothing at all. The angle of decent on the hatch is too agressive for air to hit the wing. How did I find this out? Wait for it to snow and drive down the road really fast and look at the snow on the wing, the wind doesnt touch it.

it's your preference dude, they are the same car just a body kit is all, you could buy a lx and make itlook like a gt or vice versa. I like the gt body style better but it's your choice, just make sure its a5.0

im a lx guy, but i gotta admit that a well kept gt looks great too. But as far as pure performance...alot of gt owners talk about the damn side skirts getting torn up on the street. And even on close turns and pulling up to park, u might scratch the skirt on the curb. And the weight advantages for the lx help later also....gotta go with lx. The hatch's are badass too.
