Yup... a 15y/o convertable car with probably no reenforcement doesnt handle well??? Do you know the difference in suspension between the generations? Theyre almost identical save for the SN's lower center of gravity due to the lower engine placement and intake manifold

OP, if youre looking for creature comforts and a nice interior, get a SN car, if youre just going to build and race it, get a fox. Personally I love the look of my car, but its not stock for a 95 by any means. It really comes down to personal preference. Try test driving one of each

Thumbs up

100% agree with USMC.... IT IS all about preference... I must admit... I have never owned either a Fox or SN95 that was a DD.. They have all been pleasure/weekend cars... So I guess the SN95 would have more comforts than a Fox.. But.... that still doesn't change my opinion.. I prefer the older model..

[QUOTE= I've never been in a sn95 before but they "look" more comfortable and are definitely more updated. I still wouldn't buy a sn95, I don't really like the look of them, just my two cents.[/QUOTE]

I'll Take my fox. I just don't like the sn95 look.

i'm a fox guy myself. i have never seen another car that i really belive, was designed to be driven the crap out of!!i'm 6ft and the whole car fits like a glove!! the sn95 is nice, but... i just spent too many of my teen years smelling, rubber, clutch and weed in foxes to think any other way. this is my time machine everytime i drive it.it might be sad to some ,but very true!!!. usmc you do have a beautifull sn95 though.

THanks for all the input guys... I love both cars. never driven a fox body. I have a 97 gt with many visual upgrades and an eibach 2.5 in drop. i love the car. it handles amazing with the 10.5 inch tires on the back. and the interior is very comfy. im just not a fan of the 4.6. if i could start from scratch, i would get a 1995 cobra coupe, stroke it to a 347, throw some LT,s and magnapacks on it. Lower it 2.5 or 3 inches along with some fat deep dish rims and tires. and then possibly a vortech or procharger. that will be my plan when i find someone to by my 97.

What Eibach springs do you have that drop it that much? You must have cut coils because the Sportlines dont even lower that much. I have Sportlines with no isolators and Steeda X2's and I had to do extensive modifications inside the fenders and with the steering to make it work right

Ive owned a 90 lx and a 91 lx and now have a 95 gt and I love my sn-95. The interior is waay better but both of the lx cars Ive owned would kill this thing in any type of racing
