Hi huys got a question about a couple of cars I am looking at a 5 sp. 89 "as you guys no" But I saw a 1996 Gt for the same price with a auto What would be the better car to go with If both are equal.
Thanks Hunter

there a bunch of guys on here that know alot more than i do, but i do know that the 96-98 4.6's arent very "hot". someone correct me if i'm wrong, but the heads on those years aren't very good and it's tough to make good numbers without spending some $$$. i personally think it would come down to condition, price, and personal preference.
get the fox
especially if it is a notch!

yes, the 96-98 4.6 cars lacked in the HP area.. you can make em fast as a 99+ model but thats extra money you have to spend to be as about the same level as a 99+ car, and one thing thats undeniable about the foxes is that they are fairly cheap and alot more easier to mod.. You really need to think about what you want to do with the car, IE; drag, auto cross, or just cruise with mild mods... I think this will be the biggest factor in the purchase.

Pretty much just a pleasure car to cruise around in

If thats the case then go with the 96-98. Should be a better ride and the auto will make it a cruiser for sure. Those cars were dogs even with a manual but if you want a cruiser dont see anything wrong with it..
I vote for the fox.
2005 Mustang GT
11.2 @ 123
agreed! plus they're 249,681,385,341 times better lookingIf thats the case then go with the 96-98. Should be a better ride and the auto will make it a cruiser for sure. Those cars were dogs even with a manual but if you want a cruiser dont see anything wrong with it..
2015 Corvette Z06
- Shark Grey / Kalahari
- bolt-ons, tune, lots of carbon fiber (642/671 rwhp/tq)
and the fox is 598,384,785,876 times better looking than the trans ams...lol
96-98 for cruiser, best looking mustang body made
I'd choose the fox....and who wants an auto mustang anyway? Those are for girls and old suits! 96-98 was the worst looking body they had. That's just my opinion.

Fox/n.
1. wild animal : a carnivorous animal of the dog family that has a sturdy square body, large cubic inches, a wide RPM range , and comes in many colors. Foxes are found throughout most of the world and hunt alone, mainly at night, relying on cunning and an acute sense of power and acceleration. They feed on mostly small rodents like rats(BBC) , mice (SBC) and snakes(Cobras).
if you are looking at SN-95's, get a new edge(99-04). but if you are only looking at 94-98's and fox's i would say go with the foxbody! i dont like how everything on the 94-98s are so round...
2013 Mustang GT
1987 Mustang GT
1999 Contour SVT
Foxbody FTW
Id bite the bullet 99+ !!!!! if not id go 96-98 for a cruises and foxes if you wanna build a drag car
foxbodys are nice, but the 96 will be a better ride in my opinion. if you wanna go fast get the fox. ive had both fox and 96 gt. personal i liked the foxes but overall ride and looks i liked the 96gt.
96 with decent exaust,wheels,maybe lite gears for alittle bump.
96-98 are non pi engines which is why they lack the power.
rick-- trans am's rock!!!!
