the 360rwhp motor is going to be replaced for a motor VERU similar to the one in my notch.
As for the rims on the vert, those are photoshopped. They're the rims that are pictured on the notch...

i'm with most people on this.. dude keep your notchback. they're so hard to find these days, especially being as clean as yours. you'll most likely regret it down the line. but if you can afford it, buy a cheap 94-95 and fix her up and have the best of both worlds. good luck with your decision.

Nothing worse than cruising around on a hot summer day with the top down ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
I know, I know, you can always put it up. I've ridden in two my my friend's fox verts and between the air and water leaks, excessive interior rattles, and excessive cockpit noise compared to most hard-tops, it was enough for me to close my mind to them forever, lol. Maybe the sn95's are btter? I dunno.

You know what there's nothing really better then...doing a mid ll second run then putting the top down and driving home. Well I only drive it to trailer but still... I still would keep thought notch though.

Just b/c you have been in some crappy drop-tops it doesn't mean that all of them are like that, ![[Frown]](frown.gif) I personally have been in a couple pristine condition 25th anniversary 7ups and the red with white top/interior ones and they were exeptional. ![[Smile]](smile.gif) I have never owned a drop-top fox/SN before but you can't deny the fact that when fixed up right they look/ride SWEET....

a couple of the main differences motor wise is the accessories sit 1/2" close to the motor, the intake duct, the header on the passenger side has a bung welded on for egr that runs to the intake. the computer is extremely different and doesn't except bolt ons very well(i know my car idled at 2k for a while) but i have owned a few foxes including a notch(my favorite) and now a 94 which i will be replacing soon with another 94-95. they feel more solid.

I would stay with your car. it is extra clean. But the 94 isnt bad. But then again I dont like buying other folks custom cars or custom creations. Thats a hard choice. I love the fox body styling. Dont like the 94 styling but it is a drop.
For the record fox body drops arent that bad if the top is in good condition. One thing you could do is buy the liner for the inside. 94 verts dont hav emuch noise problem at all, least the ones I been in.

first off the 94 is mine and i love the car but i am unhappy with what the track will allow me to run so i figure it works for both of us...he dont wanna race car....i do...and my car is more solid than anyother car you guys will probly ever drive because of the suspension...
PROS AND CONS-vert...fun to drop and looks better,but without a cage only able to go 13.5's..coupe light weight good for race but no A/C too hot to drive in summer and my car is also 5 years newer and KBB is more..also 94+ ride SOOO much nice..
and yes with out a tune the 94-95s are very tempermental witch is why i am puting in another more computer friendly motor in and keeping the motor for the coupe...the coupe will have close to 500rwhp if i get it and hopefull stay in the garage a lot...well IAN i will be done with the motor tommarrow so call me when you get back and once you drive this car you will fall in love..LOL
also if i posted this instead of you then everyone would more than likely tell me to keep my car as all of my friends are but i like the coupe and dont care what they say..if i like it when i drive it then its all good...

I agree to a point... I had almost every bolt on imaginable on my 94, never had an issue with anything.
Bottom line, trust what's in your heart/mind. BlownMach1 is a great guy, I bought some 02 MILS from him awhile back and we BS'd for a good while. You wont be disappointed, verts are awesome in the summer!!! Nothing better than having the stereo cranked and cruisin with a vert, esp one like that with a custom paint job.

Don't get rid of the notch!!! Just get the car appraised and get full coverage or just theft and fire....anyone who tries to steal tht at car has some balls because it sticks out like a sore thumb....just get a good alarm system and a autolock for the clutch pedal and a removable steering wheel...don't let thieves stop you from driving your shit!!! Oh yeah...a pistol is also a very good theft detterent!!! Btw...do you live off of xavier in hayward???

Well, looks like most people think I should keep the notch. I'm still going to check out the vert sometime next week, so I'll update everyone. I didnt realize that they're so hard to mod though Thats probably not a good thing if I want to make it somewhat fast...I guess it'll come down to how it runs right now. I'll let you guys know either way. Thanks for the input

The Notch is a keeper but if you want to have fun this summer, get the Vert.. Its a totally different feeling driving around with the top down on these hot summer days.. The Notch is worth more so if you are going to do the trade, maybe a little $$ along with the vert i say....
Both cars are beautiful though

Thats a hard choice. I didn't want a convert cause i drove my Dad's Cobra too much and it just seemed annoying, now i kinda wish i had one.
I like the Notch body though.
SN95s are badass
Did you know the prototype SN95 was called the "Arnold Schwarzenegger Edition" ?
