I know that a lot of people are into the foxbody notches nowadays, buy why all of a sudden. I used never see modded notches, but now I think they're the most sought after foxbody. Just wondering why [Smile]

I personally, like them, but also like hatchbacks when they have slight appearance mods. Is there anything better/wose between the two body styles? Also, does anyone know weight comparison of a hatch, notch, and vert? Thanks [burnout]

i used to like lx hatches but after i say a couple of notches at a car show i went to i fell in love with notchbacks. notchs weight in around 3200lbs and hatches i think weight in around 3450lbs. i like my notch, i dont realy care what people think about it, only opinion that matters is mine.

yea...I like them all, but it seems that most people are modding notches nowadays. Does anyone know the weight of a convertable? I know one thing though...all they got on sideshow videos are notches [burnout]

the only benefit is the lighter weight and they were a x number of highway patrol models ex-chp there called now and they had suspension upgrades and small motor upgrades i think thats what starting making them popular with the under 25 crowd. imo

If I had a notch that was like yours...with the trunk set-up and the wheels....my shit would sit in the garage too [Big Grin]

My opinion is that notches look mean as is...just stock body with some wheels. Hatchbacks, I think, look better with some kind of kit. Verts look good WITHOUT the luggage rack and with some rims...whether LX or GT. [burnout]

The benefit, is that it is light in weight. It's lighter than the GT and LX hatch.

I personally like and have both of them. For the hatches I like a Saleen kit on them and for the notches just plain with nice wheels.

Verts are the heaviest. Out of all Fox's.
