It's funny, the only ones I LIKE are the vert's you can take your hatchback escort wannabes to the junk yard for all I care... but hey it's all a matter of preference.. but the important things to think about are.... 89-93 is mass air, unless it was a CA car then 88 will have mass air... this makes modding alot easier... the next thing to think about is.. if you buy a stock car you'll have to spend lots on mods... if you buy a car that's got lots of mods allready you can save money there kinda.. though like other;s said they get beat on more.. but to be honest they little 302s can take a beating... I'd be more worried about the tranny then the block.
I dont care what anyone says, these stock 5.0 are pigs... you will drop atleast 2Gs into the car to make it perform to the level of any performance car that was release recently, including the new mustangs and camaros... but it's fun the do the work yourself...

LX notches are the lightest then I would guess an LX hatch, then a GT hatch then an LX vert and then a GT vert. So as it stands I have the heaviest of the mustangs and couple that with an AOD and I'm got a pig right out of the box.. but put some money into it and you've got a nice fast car and there's nothing like a convertable, you shoudl know you live in FL, there's only a few shorts months of top down wether here in MA... ok that's enough...
