The most radical changes yet are done to the Fox body. The LX has flush, single-unit halogen headlights, glass quarter windows and modified taillights. Improvements to the GT include an extremely low air intake, round fog lights, lateral ground effects, 20-spoke turbine-like rims, louvered taillights and a new rear deck wing. The GT’s great performance reflects such changes. The 5.0L low-end torque improves with new cylinder heads and changed exhaust and fuel injection computer controls.
