I'd be in a 99-04 GT if I didn't have my fox. I've considered switching several times, but the fox was my first car, and I bought it off of my dad, so I can't bring my self to sell it.
Do you own a SN95 so you know how they work, right? I dove my Fox for 6 years as a DD and LOVED it, thats why it's a weekend warrior now and gets garage space over my 96' GT. My 96' GT is slow but the comfort level over the Fox is 100 times better and I did not buy it to be fast. I like both, but for fun the Fox gets my vote. The SN95 car will get a 4V when a new motor is needed.
I totally understand what you are saying however I am spoiled by the Silverado. I get out of my 88gt and into my truck and feel amazed at how much better it... well... does everything, you name it... except the raw fun factor. I think I will be stuck with this tuck for a long, long time too. I don't like the newer trucks, or the older one's.
If i didn't own a Mustang at all and wanted to jump back in the game, the only way I would buy a Fox 5.0 is if it was something unique or rare...like a 1993 Cobra, or a Fox Body Saleen or even an SVO maybe. I wouldn't buy a plain jane LX or GT. The onyl reason i have my Fox is because of sentimental reasons - my first car ever from back in HS. Otherwise i would have sold it and bought the Mustang i really want....
...I would buy a Mach 1...2003 or 2004 Azure Blue. I'd toss on some flowmasters, lower it, some 18" wheels, tint the windows and call it a day. Toss in some 4.10's and it would prob be fast enough to handle most of what I came across on a drive. It would have the Mach 460, A/C, COZY seats and be comfortable to drive on the highway for long distances. I wouldn't even do any more mods than that right there. I'd love it!
If i ever get the means to store a 3rd vehicle...i'mbuying a Mach 1
BTW...i owned an 2003 GT...so i have expeirence with the new edge Mustangs
I still consider maybe selling my fox one day for a Mach1
Once my car payment on my G35 is done, i might think long and hard about selling my 5.0 and getting a Mach 1. I really don't want to as i've said before - my 5.0 is my first car ever, so i don't want to sell it.
But by then i might be in a house with a 2-car garage..so then i can keep the 5.0 and get a Mach 1 and have my daily driver and gf/wife daily outside in the driveway.
Only if they made an AWD Mach 1 with NAv and heated seats and 4-doors
Sounds like you want a B8 audi S4 to me... which are pretty sick BTW

I love my fox, although I NEVER drive it anymore. Haven't for a few months. I like the rattles, the noise, the smell etc... BUT I like all that in moderation. Knowing you can build a 9-11 second street driven SN95+ car that will be quiet, comfy, and have tons of manners, leans me towards that. Combining the two would be cool, but a lot of work, and not sure if the fox would ever really feel like a new car.
In the end being a secondary vehicle (although my primary is not the most comfy, LOL) for the time being I can live without the comfort. But if I had the means I would prefer to have it all.
Agreed! If I made more money as to where i could sell my fox and afford a Mach i'd do it tomorrow. Right now i'm comfortable, no car payment, with a new house so money is going into that right now. I do LOVE my fox though, and need to own a mustang.
Honestly - The fox i bought from you guys is the most solid fox i've ever owned. Not a rattle, shake, or anything. Rides and drives like a dream!
