In the 87 -93 models I belive the Gt has 235 and the LX has 215, due to better heads, intake, larger injectors...etc. The GT however is heavier due to ground effects so I believ it is actually .2 slower in the quarter than the LX

lx comes with 2 body styles, notchback and hatchback. gt only comes hatchback. gt only comes with the 5.0, lx comes with 5.0 or the 4 banger (2.3). gt has ground effects and a little more power, but also weights a little more. i like the look of the gts a lot better. <IMG src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0">

i think ur thinking of the cobra because the gt and the lx heads, intake, and injectors are the same. Its the cobra that has these things improved.

Yes I agree with the last three or so post, the LX and GT bot have the same 225HP and 300ft/lb engine, Now the Cobra steps it up ten HP in 93.
