what part of the 94-95 chasis was stronger?..what are you looking at?
the body all in all. the sn weighs more due to the extra material they used to reinforce the body. i love the way my sn can handle compared to my old fox's

I want to sell mine, but for 5K. It has about 1000 miles on the new tranny (auto). Total sleeper. Been garaged. Look at my sig for details.

you guys saying an SN looks better....NO. its personal preference, but no. yes, theyre a more rigid chassis. ill give it that. they did more research on the nvh of the vehicle, but my Fox is roomier than an SN. i drove my buddies 5-6wks ago, and i was cramped compared to my Fox body. and no SN95 can beat the look of a Fox-body with big n littles on it. notchback, or hatchback. haha

not so sure about that whole statement aside from saying they put more research into it. i got tired of the BS i always had to put up with in my fox's i'm 6' and i feel fine in my sn, i love the way the car feels. and i believe my sn looks a lot better than MY old 88. i built fox's before and thats what i started with but i like my sn better

idk. its like when i was driving, with the seat all the way back, my legs were bent a lot more than in my car. i mean, its all personal preference, but comparing GT to GT...id rather have a Fox body. what kind of BS were you putting up with in your Fox's??

no matter what i replaced... something else would break within the next 2 weeks..... it was that way from the start. my sn hasnt given me any issues, i even had the stock motor never touched and it ran just fine but it was stock, i replaced the motor etc and it's still running strong, no real issues. i got my 88 when i was 15 got tired of the thing 4 years later and got my sn and in the year i've had it, i cant put that car down.

ohh. gotcha. i mean i DO like the looks of 'em usually. especially lowered with a nice hood, but, i just dont think any newer 'Stang is sexier than a Fox-body except for an '03/'04 Cobra.

I love my Fox. I've driven a bunch of New Edges and they feel a bit cramped for me at 6'5". I do like the "feel" of the SNs and may possibly own one some day, but there's nothing like the Fox.
