ugly.

To me the LX's are Fugly but I love the GT's

If you are looking to upgrade in the future you cant beat the aftermarket of the 5.0, way cheaper than the 4.6.

x2 anyone saying the 4.6 is more versatile has never compared prices on performance parts, the 4.6 is basically a throw away motor if it needs a rebuild. 5.0 ftw.

I vote for a Mustang with a LS1 in it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

All is true, huge aftermarket for either the 4.6 or 5.0 but I would take a dohc 4.6 any day of teh week, there is a big performance difference also between the sohc and dohc 4.6

Fox body LX with 4:10's in the rear with BBK cold air intake and a X pipe= high 12sec 1/4 mile E.T's ..all day!!

4.6 is garbage. My stock 89GT 5speed with 180,000 miles on it was killing lightly modded 4.6 stangs.

i got a 1990 fl. x-state p coupe with a 98 cobra 4 valve and bone stock with a tune gears and headers ! and it runs a 7.87 1/8 of mile time so their not a throw away motor.i also have a v-8 5 speed coupe{shell-no motor or ******} with a good title for sale. oh and i have 11 differant fox cars and my fav. is the 5.0 lx hatch.why? stock for stock,their faster than a gt and still get off with some jam in it!

Im pretty much looking for something with some nice RW horsepower. Figured a nice foxbody would be nice for around 4k. Just something to beat up on when im not pissing gas out of my Tahoe, I can piss it out of that! I cant do a civic, or anything like it. I just cant.

 

[revots 10+ year member]

I have 3.55 gears but, I push the gas too hard

anyways...foxes are fun...drop some 4:10 gears in it, either cobra or GT40 intake with a cold air kit, T5 ****** and have some fun. It'll smoke most cars around, especially all the ricer kids with their fart cannon mufflers. Ls1's are good cars but they will not smoke "every" mustang that comes near it.
