the LX's were lighter than most f-bodies. you coudl option an LX to weigh as much or more, but most didn't get that treatment. the fox GT's were actually very close in weight to similar year f-bodies. between upgraded/heavier suspension parts, more power features, and the extensive body kit, the GT options did more to slow the car down than inspire the performance image it was intended to represent.
most mustangs also came with less gear than comparable f-bodies. where gm was dropping 3.23's or 3.42's into most formula/trans am/z28 models, ford was putting 3.08's and 2.73's into most of their V8 equiped cars.
