i'll bring it up....the fox body stang ruled the streets in the late 80's and early 90's...period...the camaro was no competition whatsoever...that pathetic 305 was a joke,and the 350 camaro's could at best keep up with a foxbody stang......
the only thing in those days was the one off t/a gta with the grand national motor....that was a fast car....
for example my ex-wife had a 93 gt with 3.55 gears,h-pipe,and k&n and ran 13.9's.....a good friend with a i think 91 or 92 camaro with the 350,could not hang from a stop or a roll with her basically stock mustang...trust me i was heavily into the stang scene in the early 90's...and if you try and say that stangs didn't rule the streets then,you have no clue whatsoever......there were stang guys way back in 87 running deep into the 13's in stock foxbodies,with a simple bump in timing,removing the silencer,adding a k&n,and off road pipe...
and as far as looks the stangs again win hands down...the trunk in the iroc's was also useless,they also had that pass. hump in the floor,disgustingly horrible interior...that huge ugly flat dash,and seats that also felt likt they drug the ground...so yeah i brought it up...and its a fact that in the late 80's early 90's the foxbody owned the irocs hands down...

wow, this post went from a guy talking about how fast the Cobra felt and how fun it was , to an argument on how this one guy hates Mustangs and would rather get an ugly Chevy or Mopar and the other people are all like " yeah well... fine."

I already answered the original posters question. "whatever fits you best, you should decide for yourself. But these are the facts I know." And yeah, you are right about the fox body beating the 3rd gens. But what about that Mustang II? Seriously lets start that conversation. Oh wait. Never mind it's already over. The Fox body stangs are sweet, I was being sarcastic. I know darn well stock, foxes will win. but then again the Foxbody stang never had a TV show with David Hassalhoff.

The Mustang lives and the F-body has died. Must we go on? My aunt's 3rd Gen Camaro was a disaster. The 305 was definitely a boat anchor. I don't know which is worse, the 305 or the Olds 307 in my girlfriend's old Caprice.

My grandma died, but that doesn't mean she wasn't great. The same goes for the F-Body. What are you trying to prove with that statement?

by the way madmerc,since your the one that keeps mentioning the mustang II(74-78)models,maybe you should know what you are talking about before spouting off.....for your information,the 74-78's were NOT only 6 cylinders,they were available with a 302..however during that time they only made about 150hp or less...
but then again that was during the gas crunch,and the first years of strict emission control....ALL manufacturers were making low hp cars at that time including gm....hell even the corvette had less than 200 hp...it was a black eye on the automotive industry as a whole,not just ford and mustang II's..

C'mon!!! You think I didn't know that the King Cobra could come with a 140-hp 302? get serious man! I for one love the IIs, but most Ford guys don't like talking about them. In fact, my grandpa keeps trying to get me to start a project car involving a '74 4-cylinder coupe and a '70 built 351C my Uncle Buzz tore out of his last Mach 1. THAT would be a fast Mustang, wouldn't ya'll agree? I'm sorry if I got you guys all riled up, but y'know, sometimes it's good for you. Speaking of F-bodies though, I'm helping my friend build ANOTHER 3rd-gen Firebird. It's an '88 T-Bar model that HAD a 2.8L, but is getting the V8 makeover. We have a '91 Vortech 5.7L and a 700R4 Automatic transmission. Yesterday we marked the positions for the engine mounts to go(We jacked them from an old Formula) and tested engine clearance. We found that the transmission dipstick REALLY needs to be shortened or bent to a more conforming angle. Also, we found a fitting Formula-spec hood(you know with the offset cowl) and two new bumpers from earlier models. It's starting to come together pretty well now. I'll keep ya'll updated if you want to know more.

You guys know you keep screwing up the facts right? The only IROC-Zs and T/As that even HAD a trunk were the fairly rare convertible body styles. ALL THE OTHERS WERE HATCHBACKS.
