Always one of my favs is a clean fox coupe. Only issue I had with them was drivability when heavily tuned. Newest stang I've had was the 13. Great platform for power and speed there.

I like to have that wide body 4 eyed Fox LMR did. Or a 93 Cobra or a 90 or 91 Titanium GT coupe.

A GT coupe?

Yup, I'm over the LX and and having owned a 88 GT vert I would prefer the slightly more rigid GT Coupe. I'd prefer Mono but would take a two tone. Or a Performance red would be nice. I want it stock too.

My 1300whp s197 could be a daily driver where as my 440whp nitrous fox was a complete drag car. The fox was light but drove like crap regardless of how it was tuned. For it's time the fox was bad ass but i'm going s550 all day.

Fox body all day.

I had an ‘11 but got rid of it because while it was quick, it just wasn’t real exciting. I imagine it would be the same for the s550.

Fox Body, no contest.

The sound alone of the SBF makes it all worth it. The Coyote is impressive, technically, but Ford did something to make it sound like complete ass...

Fox body for me too. Love the body lines, sound and power of the 5.0 and the interior fit me well too. Never had an S550, but just put them side by side and I will walk to the Fox Body every single time...…………

By the way should have put a poll on this thread...……….

Having lived through the muscle car years and now looking back on them I would say it depends on the usage of the car. No way I want to drive a Fox every day "put 100k miles on one" and really appreciate the new cars. However, Saturday morning cars and coffee, weekend at a car show, it is the Fox every day.
I go to Daytona Beach every Thanksgiving for a huge car show and have never taken nor considered taking my 2012 Mustang.
You just simply have to have both!
