[QUOTE]Originally posted by Blind: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by 04 S281: [qb] I'm gonna have to go against the grain here and vote for the SN95. You yourself said the 97 is a nicer overall car, and easier to drive on-track due to the predictable torque low down in the mod motors RPM range. The fox may be faster overall, but which one do you enjoy driving most? Which one is more rewarding at the limit on-track? [/qb][/QUOTE]I say the sn95 is nicer, because it has awesome A/C, the heater works great, the ABS is nice to have, it's much quieter and it rides a lot nicer on the freeway. But that's the thing, one has IRS and no torque, even back with the old SRA and 4.30 gears I always wanted more torque out of it, like it needed 4.56 gears or something, it's even worse now with 3.55's or whatever the 03/04 cobra IRS has stock...the other car has a 3 link and is a complete animal, like a 500hp gokart. Around the track I don't have the skills to really drive it as fast as it could be driven, the sn95 is easier to drive, no question about it. It's easy to be smooth. But getting the lines right with the fox and putting all the power down...nothing that I've driven can compare, and I've taken rides / driven in a lot of different cars out at track days. The only thing close was a friends z06 corvette, but that felt slow and huge compared to my fox. I've put ~30k miles onto the sn95 as a daily driver for the past 3 years and it's never had a problem, I've taken it to the autox/track once a month for the past 2 years while I took the foxbody apart and was building the engine up. It's a super reliable car, returns 18-26mpg depending how I drive it, can rev to 7200rpm anytime I want it to, and with ~300rwhp and being fairly light, it's really fast enough to have a lot of fun in, especially with how well the total package of parts on the car handle. Now that I bike to work, and the foxbody is nearly done, I find less of a need to keep both cars. it's going to be a tough choice, I really love driving both cars, and since both started out with motor swaps, I've really put a lot of time into both of them...
