sn-95 vs fox

I assume your comparing the FOX vs. a 5.0 SN95?

Major pros & cons that I'll point out:

SN95 Pros: 5-lug bolt pattern, better brake system w/ 4-wheel discs, more fender room for larger tires.

SN95 Cons: Heavier overall weight, Hypereutectic stock pistons ('93 FOX also), less aggresive computer calibration.

Interior and exterior styling is a matter of preference and opinion. However, there is a larger selection of exterior "dress-up" parts available for the SN95.

I personally like the performance of the lightweight FOX, but really like the looks of the '95 Cobra R (front bumper cover, hood, and wheels) or the SN95 Saleen's.

Sn95 also has a much stiffer chassis.

532?!

I'd say it wouldn't matter...

Go with whatever you can find, or like.

Something else. IMHO too much weight, too high up in the chassis. I'm strictly a small block man.

well i used to think that but i had a 86 with a mild 460 and it would run mid 11s like nothing and the cost to build a good dependable small block at 800 hp is twice of a big block and maint. is twice as much so im going to try the big block its all theory so will see ?
