Default New guy with a question

I've just been readin up on different years of fox-bodies and noticed the 5.0 lx has a helluva weight advantage. Is it just becuase of the different bodywork? If so, would this mean a lx hatch would be similar in weight to the notch? I relize it's a little different car, but how much difference does that aero work really make? Just seems hard to believe its that much! Thanks

Ok, thanks! I was just re-researching and found that the hatch lx is roughly 75 lbs more than same year notch. FYI the year I compared was 91. Thanks again 92Mustanglx
