I never really understood why the LX was more desirable than a GT. The Fox body Mustangs are my wife's favorite generation.
My wife hates them. It was fine in '89 - now though? Nope. Nostalgia has me sometimes thinking I'd like another...but then I realize what garbage they really were. And for $61,000? (so far) WTF! No thanks! You can buy a GT350 or a 2020 5.0 ragtop....or a Z06...or so many other cars which are so much faster and better looking and the list goes on and on.

They were lighter & therefore quicker, especially the notchback vs the hatchback.
And, they looked better without the GT's superfluous body panels.
That's why I bought an LX hatch. Wasn't fond of the GT looks then, or now. Didn't much like the looks of the notch either. IIRC, you couldn't get the GT seats in the notch where you could in the LX, so another reason not to buy the notch. (IIRC - I might be wrong)

Debatable. I only had cat delete H-pipe and underdrive pulleys, and I never lost to another Mustang (I'd probably still be in jail if street racing was as high a crime as it is now...or if I'd have ever been caught - funny my 5.0 owning son is not impressed by my old-timey stories of the past: you were an idiot! Gee...thanks...I might have to send you back!), almost lost to an RX7 (I know! WuT!

That thing was Fast!) and barely got beat by a Vette. The only Mustang that beat me was an earlier 85-86 model, but you could hear that thing had a cam in it and wasn't stock.
