I was told this was decent forum, all I see when I came in here is abunch of ignorant *** hats. Yes the II had its Faults- first year without a V8 option, but as stated it still ranks as the 5 highest single year sales figure in Mustang history, so they must have done something right. There is a reason that hot rodders use the II suspension, the same reason that all the years of mustang that followed the II still use the same principals in thier front suspension design- IT WORKS! I will gladly put a II up against a fox any day on a road course, and we'll see who's laughing at who at the end of the day.
The V8 issue for the 74's is easily fixed. The fact that the brick stangs looked like an escort Gt isn't
When was the first year of the 5.0 designation? That's right ladies, The 1978 King was the first to use the 5.0 designation on it's body, not your foxes! 1979 the first year of the fox kept the 5.0, but then ford dropped it in 1980 for yep a 260 2bbl rated at 116 hp- lower than any year of the II's 302, as far as that goes it was only SLIGHTLY stronger than "those damn German powered" cologne 2.8l v6's in the II(105 horse)
Name for me 1 yes only 1 design element of the fox that even resembles ANY of the orginal design elements of the Mustang? There are alot on the II that can- that was the idea of the redesign- to get the mustang back to its roots as a smaller car, from the growing boats of the early 71-73's.
Yeah that looks really close...
Shall we go on?

Geez, just because you own one and it's YOUR favourite Mustang doesn't mean I can't voice my opinion that I think it's the fugliest thing to bear the Mustangs name. It's a PINTO for God's sakes!
So you knock the Fox for running a 255ci V8, but in your book it's ok that the Pinto, I mean Mustang II didn't have a V8 in 74 because "The V8 issue for the 74's is easily fixed". The Fox Mustang ran from 79-93, and in extension all the way up til 2004 with a modified chassis. Are you really going to tell me the II was a better car because it sold more units during the disco 70's? How many championships has the Mustang II won? And do you really think because a car "resembles" it's original that it's better overall or even better looking than one which doesn't??? That's got to be the most far reaching arguement ever!
Don't get your panties in a bunch because we strongly dislike your car, I couldn't care less if you hate Fox Stangs but don't be a hypocrite! And get over yourself, Mustang II's are ugly and that's the bottom line.

oh and BTW what part of the 99-04's look like the original?
As far as I'm concerned, no offence, but NONE of the mustangs from 71-04 look ANYTHING like the original so WTF are you even talking about man?
Not to mention the 74-78's are likely the most hated on cars ever built, I've even talked to G.M. guys that'd take ANY other year mustang than those....I don't care if it was one of the top 5 years in sales for mustangs, it's still a gay looking car.
Just because Honda sells lots of Civics, doesn't mean it's cool to own one.

Wow. Of all people I would have thought Mustang owners would just appreciate the fact that its a Mustang. Im not nor has any II owner (I know) DISLIKE any other Mustang. I like them all, they all have their own look to them. Just because a majority of you dont like the II's doesnt mean you have to throw it in our faces. Trust me, the people that own II's KNOW that the are "the most hated", but who cares!? If we like them, so be it. I thought this was a Mustang enthusiest board, not a bashing board. I liek both my Cobra II and my Mustang coupe.
