I've heard that the notch weighs like 50 lbs lighter than the hatch, and the GT is like 30 lbs heavier than the LX because of the extra molding. Basically it's a personal preferance. At 100mph my GT handles better than my '84 5.0L LX did i can tell you there was a BIG differance in aerodynamics by the feel of the car. The GT squats down at speed and the LX tries to go airborn. The 84 though is slightly different than the '87+ ones though, but not by a whole lot.
I like the either one so i'm impartial.
