Dash, seats, door panels. Drove it for 11 years..recently sold it.  Car handles liek it was on rails but like I said.  Rough like a tank..BUT FUN!!!!!!Now my recent car.  1995 GT vert.  Was bone stock when I got it.  Honestly I wasnt going to buy it..I have to many cars already..But for $1500!!!  I was jonesing for a convertable......At first though I hated it.  EVERYTHING is plastic.  The seats just dont feel right, the dash  just feels wrong.  The shifter...WHY IS THE SHIFTER IN THE DASH..If it were a manual it drive me crazy... Compareing it to my 1994 SC (which isnt fair) it feels as though the mustang has an extremely cheap imitation SC interior..Seriously.  Where I was impressed however was the ride quality.  It was comparable to my xr7 when it was stock.  It definitely had less flex than my fox vert even with the subframes.  The car feels much more solid.  Its expected afterall it is a refined fox chasis.  Im finding issues with getting over all the plastic but I think once I get some good seats in here I'll be ok In the end however I do like my fox vert better. Lack of insulation gave me a more intimate relationship to the road.  Everything seemed to flow well.  The SN95 just feels different.  Im beginning to like it but it just seems like a bunch of parst thrown together that dont flow so well.  Im not saying teh fox had better parts..Its just that they all worked together well and teh car knew what it was...Seems the sn95 had an identity crisis with things value enfineered out.  Wasnt much to value engineer out of a fox stang!  For a daily driver you can go either way.  The sn95 will however be more  "refined" whereas I dont think youll have much more fun than with a fox</blockquote>
