the breaks are better on your 95,and handling..the 88 might still be speed density if it's not a california car.

I would buy the 88 and sell the 95. I think the 94-98 mustangs are to bubbly, there ugly. I have an 89 LX and a 03 GT. There are alot of parts for 5.0's about 4x more than the 4.6's. Save money with the 88 and put it into it.

Get the 88...mass air conversion is no big deal when you think about it. An 88 is faster than a 95 anyhow.

its a nice car. it will run a 14 flat in the 1/4 on street tires. my 95 will only do a 14.5. its kinda to nice to pass up i just wish it was a gt i like the look better. but faster is better too!

Put a saleen kit on it....That will make it 100x nicer then the GT look. In my opinion. For about $1000 for the peices and paint. With that money you save with buying the 88, you can.
