What is the difference between a mustang gt and a mustang lx?

Answer 1

The LX and GT are two different optional upgrades to the base model Ford Mustang with each targeting a separate consumer group. For the more conservative Mustang consumer who wanted a more luxury oriented model, a Mustang fully loaded with all the automatic accessories like electronic door locks, electric side power mirrors and windows, cruise control and the like the Mustang LX gave them all of that but with clean smooth lines for the body. The Tail Lights, body side molding and other body accessories were major upgrades from the base model but they did not overtly alter the base model body lines. To the untrained eye the LX exterior looked just like the base model so for consumers who wanted a sports car but not a race car this was the model they chose. The GT on the other hand was the race car. The Gt's exterior body is completely different than the base model Mustang or the luxury LX version. First and foremost the GT Mustang has full ground effects, skirting that surrounded the whole car and gave it the classic Muscle car look, it also had upgrades to the engine and suspension but included all of the automatic goodies that its brother they LX had. When one conjurs up a vision of a Mustang what they see is the GT Mustang, not the LX or the base models, it is the version that made Mustang a legend.
