RE: difference between GT and LX?
Not much difference at all, it is really just all cosmetic. The GT is a hatchback style witht the GT bodykit, while the LX is basically the same body, but it has a trunk and is not a hatchback. This question has been brought up a couple of times, and from what I've read, the appearance is the only difference.
From a pure performance standpoint, both cars are the same, but the GT weighs more due to the bodykit and hatchback.

the difference is that GTs have a v8 and LXs have a 4 banger. I have sen plenty of LX hatchbacks (same as GT but no ground effects). Though I have never seen a GT notchback.

wow weird thread and even weirder answers, a GT has gorund effect and fog lights, it comes in hatchbak or convertible. an LX has not ground effects or fog lights, it comes in hatchback, coupe (trunk.. reffered to as notch) and convertible. they all have the same engine but the LX are lighter. the list (from heaviest to lightest) goes as follows:
-GT convertible
-LX convertible
-GT
-LX hatchback
-LX coupe (notch)
-GT convertible
-LX convertible
-GT
-LX hatchback
-LX coupe (notch)

What do you mean they have the same engine? LX had 2.3L GT had 5.0L engines.

zkit18 - do you think the police version (Special Services - SS) Mustangs are GT's? They began as a modified GL version back in 1982, then they were upgraded with suspension and heavy duty cooling in the LX models. By the way...tell HC_CrAzYHoRsE, that he really doesn't have the 225hp 5.0Liter 302, in his LX and to take off the factory 5.0L on the front fenders.
HC_CrAzYHoRsE - Nice LX!!!
Here are some pictures of LX's:
This is the typical looking LX hatchback:

Insurance premiums especially for younger drivers is probably the biggest difference. My insurance provider said your lucky its not a GT and I said what is the difference, according to insurance companie's the GT is a sports car and the LX is not. So i didnt ask anymore questions lol.

the lx and gt could come in convertable, hatchback and coupe. Both of them could have either body style even though the coupe version of the gt is rather rare. They bouth could have the 5.0 but only the lx could have the 2.3. The GT had some sport options and exterior aperrance differences.
