are all 94-98's called "sn95"??? i've heard that before and always kinda assumed it had something to with the model year *shrugs*

i do to. i used to hate the new gt's but i've grown to like them. my biggest hang up is that the car jus gets bigger an bigger every year (its like the size of an nissan altima an firkin huge if you look at its 1964 size)
yea FOMOCO language is kinda screwy, SN95-is internal ford motor company designation for body styles.
it all depends(imo) what you want out of your car.(drag, auto x'ing, showcar).. each different body style serves a better purpose than the other, an you kinda have to pick which one you want.
the 80's lx 5.0 fox mustangs are the quintesential drag car(small, light,) with the 89-93 Gt's bein right next jus because of the added weight of the body kits on the GT's.
the sn95 94-98 stangs are great showcars an auto crossers, with the 5.0 94-95 bein the best for aut x'ing for its pushrod 5.0 torque. the later model 96+ 4.6 with the exception of the dohc cobra 4v, are really kinda hard to work on, (headers are a pain to install) the tech is relatively new, (compared to the 5.0' aftermarket support) an in some cases there are warantys still in place on 4.6 gt's an cobras. they lack the low end punch of the 5.0, but on the plus side the 96-98' are more defined, rounded an look nicer than the 94-95 and make up for it up top. so ya can pick what ya wanna do with the car, an go from there.
i beleive the 99-03 stang is called the "Edge" design.
