Brother, that's just a fox body Mustang with good PR and a slightly more restrictive intake. I have a 90 LX convertible right now. I can't wait to get rid of the 70 so I can put more into the 90.

Looks like a wannabe Grand National to me.

Why have a gt 305 like everyone else when you can have the thunderbird with the bigger back seat. ...

Basically a Mustang GT with 5 less horsepower. The T-Bird had the same 5.0.

When I was a student commuting, I had an 89 5.0 LX. I used to take the turnpike down ($3.00 toll) and 85 back to save money and drive past the Metrorail all lit up. One day on the way to 95 down US1, a Grand Nat kept trying to get me to race him at the lights. I let him keep trying until the last 2 lights before the I95 entrance. On those two, knowing his engine was now nice and hot, I jumped on it and blew his doors off both times. I slowed to go on the on ramp and he stomped on it. He wasn't too happy.

Not exactly stock. Probably about 30-40 extra hp. The GN was a turbo 3.8V6. With today's technology they're stupid fast. Back then, once the engine was hot, they were beatable.

I always like the fox mustangs, buddy had one in HS. I checked prices recently in my area on Craigslist and they're kinda retarded.

Definitely wider. Although I like the look. You can take one from 30 years ago and the look is pretty similar to the ones today. That’s what you call a timeless industrial design. I’ve been thinking about the 4s a little bit

Here’s what I mean about the look.

1968 911 (over 50 years ago)

2020 911

Not sure about the wheelbase, but it definitely has a wider stance nowadays.

Although it has changed, the basic design is pretty darn close. The lines are more rounded now and less stark. It’s still a great looking car, even at 50+ years old

No. Thanks for asking.

The pandemic made things a little more difficult in terms of purchasing. Also the time of the post, I didn’t realize how few there are on the lots nationwide. You basically have to take what they have if you want one in a decent amount of time.

So to actually get what I want, I’m going to have to special order and sadly, now I really want the Turbo S. When (if) I pull the trigger, it might take 4-6 months, not sure. I think I will eventually get it, the question is when.
 
It's still early to the game... Wait a few years... Everyone will have one eventually..
