Bingo! I dare someone to say Jay doesn't know his cars. Of course I'm sure
there are many up here that think they know way more than him. Key word being think.

You do know when Ford made a significant departure from the tradtional Mustang styling (not talking about the IIs - they did follow the trend) with the Fox body car only a certain subset of Mustang guys prefer the car. Yes Fox cars are popular, but only with the crowd that grew up with them, when Ford went with the S-197 all the commercials that featured the cars history showed the 64-66, 67-68, 69-70, 71-73, 74-70, 94-98, 99-04 Mustangs - fox cars, apprently not a Mustang.

Ask the majority of Mustang guys what a real Mustang is and they will tell you a fox car was more or less just a V8 EXP.
