[QUOTE="99MustangGTman, post: 16521236, member: 55199"] I wanted to buy a Fox Body years ago when I bought my 2013 WRX before I actually bought that car, but at the time I i was in college in Ohio and needed a car that could handle that rough Ohio winters. As I remember from my turbo 99' GT, I used to get stuck on the slightest inclines in the rain without a rolling start and I had a few harrowing experiences in the rain again on off ramps, not speeding with the car going sideways where I had to go into a controlled drift and those occurrences were both when I was N/A or with the Vortech installed. So I knew a Fox wasn't the smart move in the cold snow weather, if I couldn't even handle rain in my New Edge. At the time I was actually more in the mood to build a sleeper Fox, with a primer paint job, and all money spent on engine/suspension upgrades. It was easy to find one for cheap for under $3k and I could find a nice one for $7k+ in 2012/2013. After I bought the WRX new, that set me back $27k, so a Fox was no longer an option. Now that i've totaled my WRX, I'm all set to finally pick up a Fox and a 02'-07' WRX Wagon/STi as a DD. Yea, I must admit, I am pretty jealous he got that 86' GT. He really got a good deal, the guy threw in a brand new BBK upper and lower intake, an 8.8 SRA, suspension parts, another pair of those AMR 18" reps mounted and balanced, and some other things I can't remember. Luckily my friend towed with his truck so he could carry everything the seller included, like the SRA. I have nothing wrong with 87-93 LXs and most likely will buy one if everything checks out the Sonic Blue painted one i'm looking at, but to me nothing beats the look of a 4 eye, especially an 85/86.
