P.S.
the 1993 Cobra is the best looking fox of all time!
Kanye and I agree.


I also love the Highway Patrol Fox notch backs! But this isn't a Fox thread. So...

Anyways I can see where you guys are coming from with the 94-98 cars, Ford really screwed up there with the introduction of the 4.6
Upon quick inspection, sure the Fox doesn't look like a Mustang, but think about it, times had changed and change needed to happen to the cars, now, I think the later Foxes appeal to the Mustangs of past much more so but my argument is:

The Mustang started as a light weight, long nosed, front engine RWD that was affordable to many and gave a performance nearly unmatched in the price class. How is the Fox body not exactly this definition. Coupe = Notch and Hatchback = Fastback. The Fox was truly more Mustang than people realized. Oh well I guess. Just think, the Camaro and Firebird went through some very life altering changes much worse than the Mustang did. When it was done (2002), it was really more sports car than pony.

I love my 2000 gt. It's my favorite body style. The round cut outs of the bottom trim for exhaust. The best looking factory rims ever put on a mustang. The 5 spoke 17 inch horse capped ponys. The backnof the car with it's throwback to the early mustangs. I bought my car cause I love it. My wife calls it my mistress.

jerk - I love all Mustangs, even the Mustang II's. That's what I enjoy about Mustang car shows. I get to see all types from over the years.

I gotta say my 2002 gt is probably one of the greatest cars ive ever driven. Yea it may not be the fastest thing on the streets but i dont give a ****! Its an amazing car, has held the title of pony car king for so mamy years, and its just beautiful. Theres other guys inmustangs but even guys in the 5.0's and even a couple shelby guys are turning their heads whe they see me! I gotta say its a great feeling. 99-04 is the best body styling in my opinion. And many more would agree, i mean why else do you see more SN95 'stangs on the road than the S197's?

Mine is not a Cobra R. It is a GT modded to look like a Cobra R, all 2000 Cobra R's are RED. This car looks and handles like a Cobra R, but I have A/C and a stereo and more HP than a Cobra R.

lol math?

1999 minus 2011 = 12 years
2005 minus 2011 = 6 years

Just saying that the new edge body style has been around for 12 years of course there would be more in the street lol
if you count sn95's it's 16 years so why wouldn't there be more than S197's?

Yea thats true, but also in my opinion its the best looking of all the body styles except for the 65-70 model range. And many of my friends that own an sn95 agree

Y'know gonna leave that one alone.

I think geogprahy has something to do with it as well. I see about an even mix of SN95/New Edge and S-197 with the Fox cars fading.

Around here it's mainly SN95's and foxes, followed by S197's and a few classics here and there. Camaro's are rarely seen, old & new. Wonder why.

Geography may have somethin to do with that but i live in southern texas right now and most places i go (corpus christi, san antonio, and other big cities i see more sn95's and surprisingly fox bodies more than the 05-09 model range. I even see more 2010 and 2011 mustangs!?
