fox 5.0 vs 94-96 5.0

fadlan12 · 12-01-2003, 03:47 PM

anybody tell me the benefits of going to a 94-96 with the 5.0 from a fox GT? i am interested in a newer GT mainly because all the upgrades i want for my fox (rear disc,5 lug etc....) come stock in the 94-96 GT. of course i don't know any of the specs for the SN95(that is the newer bodystyle right?) one other thing does the fox HB weigh less than a 94-2003.

well, i dunno the weight differences, but if someone with a newer one wants to chime in, that would be cool..

my 86gt weighed 3200 full weight, w/ my sub in there and everything, including me. spare tire, jack and all.. full weight.

Pros:
ABS
4 wheel disc brakes
better seats
much more comfortable suspension
strut tower brace
areodynamic
5 lug
electric fan
mach 460

cons:
weighs more.... just dont get a vert
the computers tune is milder
it freaks out when it gets a cam, so it needs a chip or tuning usually

I chose the 95 over the fox

Ive had both

the hatch isnt that much ligher than the sn95

My car happens to weigh in at 3090.... but that is faaaaar from the norm.

expect 3250-3300

you have a nice looking car. what kinda mods or deletions have you done? a buddy told me about all this under fender junk i could remove to shave weight.

I am full bolton, cam, with a D&D bottom end

That weight was with the back seat out ( it snaps in and out)
dog bone removed form rear
front sway bar removed
and Its a GTS so no power anything and no cruise control

the stuff in the fender? In the rear fender? convertibles have a 25 pound weight in the front..... and there are brackets for rear collision in the rear which are only 7 pounds... and the bumper supports if you arent afraid of hitting anything or someone hitting you. I will see how much they weigh

here is a list of stuff
