gud??

 

the difference between a coupe and a hatchback is that the rear ends are lighter on the coupes

 

imo the the 87 up lx coupes look the best

 

I like teh 4 eye notches :drool

 

notch is a bit lighter

 

notch is lighter and way cooler.

 

i got a hatch then

 

sell ya my 88

 

If it makes you feel any better I like the hatch's especially the 84 ttop. :tomato

 

Na i was jus kidding before lol. I like the hatches.

 

coupes are a little lighter but they are also more solid structure wise but still require subframes to be one of the first mods to the car.

ha. From the owner of hatch.... The rear end of a coupe is just darn sex appeal!

^want

 

Get both

 

Notchbacks are slightly lighter and slightly stiffer. Hatchbacks have more room and are slightly more aerodynamic.

The hatch would probably make for a better DD just for the sake of being slightly more practical. You can fold down the rear seats and fit a LOT of crap in there. Hatches are also more common (as both LX and GT models were offered in a hatch, only LXs were offered in the notch), and they're usually cheaper.

Looks are a matter of preference, personally I think the LX hatchback is one of the UGLIEST cars ever made. Which is weird, because with the GT ground effects, or even the Cobra ground effects, I think it looks pretty good.

First Mustang I owned was my 89 5.0 LX. I moved home from college in one trip. I folded down the seats and put a recliner chair, my desktop computer, laser printer, all my dishes, pots and pans, all my clothes, some plastic drawer/boxes, all my bed stuff, bathroom rugs, books, EVERYTHING in it. It was loaded FULL of stuff, mostly stuff you couldn't haul in an open bed of a truck. Took me about an hour to unload everything.

At one point I also hauled home a set of fluorescent lightbulbs in it. They went all the way from the back of the hatch and rested on the dash. I even hauled the entire front suspension beam out of my VW in it, spindle to spindle.

A few years later I was in a wreck and totaled it. But I bought a 2.3L notch and swapped absolutely everything.

I can't even fit a small ice chest in the trunk of my notchback. But I do like the way notchbacks look, and the fact that you don't see many anymore.

 

I actually am reversed of RevDex I think the back of the LX hatch looks more gudder than the GT

 

i got a hatch, very practicle. but man i would love to have a notch.

 

Yeah, I was looking for a notch when I settled for another 'vert.

5-speed 5.0 notchbacks are NOT easy to come by out here.

 

their all guuud

 

hatch is just that a hatchback a coupe has a trunk lid insted of a hatch the coupe is also called a "notch back" the coupe was cheaper from the factory but much more sought after now.

 

i see more ppl like coupes than hatches...

 

I always wanted a hatch GT which I ended up buying. But I cant seem to keep thinking about owning a notch as well. Big thing about a notch is having the small space behind the seats, and a truck to hide what you got. Mini tub, bottle etc.

 

coupe vs. hatch

I couldn't decide so i got a 82 notch,83 vert,and a 89 gt.I would suggest staying in the fuel injected years whatever you decide,smoother power and less aggrevation.just my 2 cents.

 

Had both

But my 86 hatch looks damn good.
