Why I love the 4cyl Foxbody Mustang a little bit more than the V8. #BlogPost

I don’t really understand the hate…whenever I mention the 4cyl in conversation with guys at work, they simply brush it off as “not a real Mustang”…..really? That’s funny because….it sure does have the name of a “real” Mustang. It looks the same as a “real” Mustang(aside from a couple body tweaks). It also has half the cylinders but can be built to be faster than a 5.0. “DUH YOU IDIOT! ANYTHING CAN BE MODIFIED TO BE FASTER! KILL YOURSELF!!!” Beat yall to that bullsh!t. But really? Is it any less “Mustangy”? #opinion #FoxBody #4bangers #TunnelVision

The Ponycar that kills Ponycars. Mustang SVO

So. Why do I like it more? #List time!

1.) Base Models are cheap as hell!

2.) Even the super fast turbo SVO is relatively cheap!

But some obnoxious orange Nikes for $50? Instead of $120?

Anyway…back to the list.

3.) Cheap Drift Weapon.

4 screaming cylinders, some serious engine mods on a strong chassis? The resulting product is a cheap, tire shreading beast. Just like its Japanese equivalent in my opinion (bringing us to reason number 4)

4.) It's basically a fat S13 from America.

Why import an S13 for a crap ton of Yen when you could just buy a 2.3 Foxbody? For at most a few thousand Dollars….dont mess around with that Yen crap….too damn confusing.

You own a Mustang. It looks amazing. AND you get pretty great MPG!

And in a 5.0? Hmmm...bye wallet.

I like to call myself a “Practical Petrolhead”. I mean….I drive a grandma car-bodied, but still wicked fast Volkswagen Mommy mobile. I love my wagon. It’s understated…not ugly. It’s hidden.
So…MPG matters to me…if it doesn’t matter to you…you have a lot of money or maybe not a lot of responsibilities. Or maybe you are a sole investor. Anyway…the point is, I would like to NOT have to fill up before, during and after a hoon session. Oh ya…hoon…. reason

6.) Can hoon like crazy.

A few CTzens have 4cyl Foxbodies on here. And they all look great! Really love the purple SVO from ThatGuyWithTheSpeed6.
Not often do you see that color…it looks amazing. Some CTzens I could find in the gallery. Brings me to number 7.

7.) They are a bit Rare.

Compare that to the amount of Foxbodies with 8 cylinders…their rarity means they have a story. They have character. From bumper to bumper. Inside and out. They are amazing. They are on my dream list. I love how they….

Thats pretty much it. Sorry for just stopping….haha thanks for reading. And upvoting. Giving me your upvotes keeps me alive. If you dont….I slowly stick myself into a meat grinder…penis first. PLEASE LIKE MY STUFF!!!!!

This is a great read! It makes me want a 4 banger fox body drift car lol! This also makes me think more of the current Eco boost.

With those prices the turbo version would offer a lot bang for the buck. Plus I’d guess there’s a lot of potential for tuning?

Btw, from now on when I read instructions instead of getting my dic* stuck in a toaster, it gets stuck in a meat grinder. :l

Id really like to meet up with you and ride shotgun in your 2.3 to compared! For the gas mileage yoy are totally right, damn cruising on the highway is expensive 😝

Good list. You do make great points, but I get what people say by “Its not a real mustang” in the fact that it doesn’t have the proper v8 but I’m not saying they’re bad by any means

Its just a 4cylinder Mustang. Not a different car, though.

The Ford Mustang is like the American Top Gear. If you compare them to the more tenured counterpart, they will never stack up in the eyes of the original fans. However, like the show, they do have some fun qualities in their own right. If the SVO was sold as a 4cyl tuner by ford rather than a fun alternative to the v8 muscle, then it would have had much more success and love, kinda like what Ford is doing currently with the RS, a boosted tuner that doesn’t compete as much against the Mustang (yes they share the same engine but still). If it was sold as something new rather than as a weaker alternative, it would be a legend.
