Previously had a 95 gt, not sure if I want to get another, or possibly a notchback. Any opinions? Pros/Cons in differences between the notchback and sn95's?

Cons

Ghetto street cred
Boxy old pos beat up probably donuts ran daily

Sn95 pros
Cheaper nowadays
More room and comfy

I think overall build quality took a step forward with the SN95. Door handles don't break so easily. No front seat gangster lean. Gauges usually work well for a long time. Rear control arm mounting points don't crack/rip as easily. A few less rattles and squeaks. Better stock stereo system (if equipped with Mach audio) Plus the interior design... Sn95 interior looks so much better than fox interior, in my opinion.

+1 plus their already equipped with an electric fan, relocated ignition module, 4- wheel disk brakes, abs, 5-lug better wheel selection, you can fit a 345 tire if you really wanted to, no need to tub it if your into only drag racing, a/c usually works, and heater usually works too, lastly their cheap.

Con- little overweight (like 100-200 pounds), and parts are unique to only 94-95.

But you already know most of this since you had one.
Just imagine the coupe being more work, since you have to swap everything into the fox from a sn95.

Coupe cons-need electric fan, heater never works, a/c is always deleted, 4-lug, small brakes, rear drums, carboard seats, always stolen, always usied for swinging sessions.

Get a 1999-04 GT and throw a Kenne Bell on it.

+1 I agree with that also I feel that's probably the best looking body style and mods aren't too expensive

Don't forget about the rod knock

Sn95 all the way, especially for DD purposes. If done right, sn95's look killer and better than your typical "clean" Foxbody.

I went from a notch to a 97 Cobra.. I can actually daily drive this one in comfort. I loved both cars, but I wouldn't get a SN-95 5.0 or GT. Notch or 96-98 Cobra!!

These streets need more fox verts [Big Grin]

the way i would put it you can't fail with an 94-95, you still get the engine for cheap mods. plus you already have the brake up grade vs the fox brakes.

i dont like sn95 but i do appricate a clean sn95 and it isnt hard to make em look clean.
