As a Ford guy, I quickly decided that the Mustang was the much better car, and it still is.
I chuckled when I read this, because yes of course you'd say that. I guess it depends on your priorities? The 80's F-bodys were much, much better handling cars than the Fox-body stuff and aside from a complete suspension and chassis re-engineering there isn't much you do to a Fox body to make them not terrible. In terms of acceleration they were both pathetically slow back then, but few of these cars were hurting for aftermarket bolt-on go-fast stuff back then (or now) and even in the 90's it was hard to find one that wasn't modified under the hood.
