Question about fox bodied mustangs/GT (87-93)
 

Hello,

I am new to this forum and the world of mustangs.I am interested in purchasing my first car and I have chosen the 1987-1993 Mustang 5.0 . I am particularly looking for a mustang within those years with the ground effects on the bottom (i.e. lowered sportier bumpers) and the taillights with the small slits in them. Is this the GT option ? I noticed while looking for mustangs on the net that they go by the name of the Mustang GT. Also what performance options were in the Mustang GT over the base Mustang

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks,

the performance is the same, but ya those are the GTs. they look awesome

Yes that is the GT option the only difference is the GT has a better suspension. Also you look into the years 89-92 those were the best years for mods bc it had forged pistons and mass air

RE: Question about fox bodied mustangs/GT (87-93)
 

gt and lx have the same suspension. also forged pistions were from 87 to 92. ppl just dont like the 87 and 88s cause they arent MAF cars. nothing an hour of your time couldnt fix.

there isnt no motor difference, cars are identical except for facial stuff/tailpipes

The GT doesnt have different suspension its just a ground effect kit on it,thats it.The LXs are faster due to the less weight on them

It all really depends what body style you prefer, the hatchback on the notchback or even a convertible. There is no difference between performance or handling between the three except that the convertible is a little bit heavier out of the three.

the gt came with a rear sway bar and had power traction

Thanks for all of your help. I will definately go for the the GT hatchback because in my opinion it looks much nicer than the LX.

haahaha what the hell is power traction??? do you mean traction loK? if so that is fords brand of limited slip diff. also the LX had the GT handling package. so whatever that is on a GT is on aLX. even all the wires for fog lights and power seats
