Guest tbutera2112 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 96 + PI heads + turbo ftw. 96 + ported PI heads, turbo cams, PI intake, turbo.... what is that? like 6grand in mods? and a whopping 400rwhp...then when you turn the boost up and it blows up at 400-450hp, he can spend another 3 grand on a bottom end!...for 9grand, he could make a fox to stomp it!! 94-98 body ftl anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 I'd much rather have a fox body or SN95 over a lame ass LT1 F-Body. I've owned both an SN95 AND an LT1 F-body, of the same year, at the same time. I can't believe Ford thought the Mustang was even competiton for the F-body. Way slower stock-for-stock, didn't handle as well, interior felt cheaper (not that my Formula's interior feels nice by any means), worse fuel mileage, horriable shifter placement, etc. The Moostang made for an alright daily driver, but I don't see me ever owning another.

phil Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 dont do it, ive done what your doing backwards and im telling you to either stick it out or sell it for profit and get an lsx 96 fords suck ass hole, ive had one i know, fox bodies are sweet but if you want speed for dollar stay with the lt1. heed my advice, i wouldnt go back if i were you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tbutera2112 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 who cares about stock for stock? i dont think hes going to buy a car and never mod it....you have a modded LT1 vs your stock 5.0 that made what? 200hp? thats not even a comparison fox with a big stroker motor > shitty LT1 have fun driving your LT1....oh wait, nevermind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed44 Posted October 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 looks like most of the votes are for the fox. I only like 3 things about my camaro. It looks good, sounds good, and has decent power. Should be around 350whp. I cant stand how it drives and how I am eye level with the 8 foot long dash board. Plus its speed density, which I dont want to mess with. There is just something about a mustang that gets my attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RQUICK91GT Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 The fox of course. I have had probably 20+ fox cars over the last 17 years and only 1 sn95 car thats because I just did not like the way the sn95 felt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 have you seen the port design on an ls1 head its miles beyond anything else out there fox= one of the best drag platforms ever ls1 = the pinnacle of the production pushrod smallblock why not combine them? I still run a 5.0 but don't think I havn't thougt about yanking it in favor of the ls1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wease Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Fox Body for sure. There's just something about a clean Fox, hence I won't give up my '86, even if it sits in storage all summer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKilbourne Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 I am the only one that actually looked at the first picture?

Reed44 Posted October 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Everytime I get something else I always want to go back to a mustang. So thats what the plans is. I have had alot of interesting offers though but I know I will just sell it in a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay away from it. Those are supposed to be nice and flat. Damage in that area could have been caused by a few things, but I wouldn't be excited about the car after seeing that. The owner also forgot the door molding on the passenger side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
