SN95 refers to the 94-up 4th generation mustang. The name doesn't mean anything
other than it's ford's way of designating a platform. I think it possibly could
also mean it's the 95th platform.

SN95 refers to the current Mustangs... the '94-'98s and even the '99s.
I'm pretty sure SN95 was the internal anme for the project, and it just
sort of cought on. I'm sure other people can tell you more about it.

Mustang built within those years are called "FOX-body" Mustangs. "SN95" is
the company's designation for 1994 thru 1998 model years. Automakers usually
apply internal designations when a car is in the design stage (e.g.:
Camaros/Firebirds from 1982 thru 1992 are designated "F-body").

I wanted to know myself but doesn't look like anyone on the newsgroup cares
to answer.

from "Mustang: The Next Generation" by Bob McClurg -
"The first two characters are used to identify the fact that the Mustang
competes in the small speciality car segment and that North America has the
lead design responsibility. The numbers have no product significance and are
used by Ford to track, administratively, the sequence of program approvals."
Interesting...

That only need apply to the SN95 Cobra owners, according to some of the people
on here and some magazines that I've read...

Just a minor correction, but, AFAIK, *all* camarobirds are called F-bodies.

Actually, Fox refers to the chassis, not the car. There were several
other Ford cars built on the Fox chassis, such as the Fairmont/Zephyr
(first car built on the fox chassis), 83-88 Thunderbird, and of course
the Capri. The SN-95 Mustangs are built on the Fox-4 chassis, which is
essentially a modified Fox chassis. To demonstrate just how much they
modified the chassis, Ford had a Fox-4 chassis with all of the parts
color-coded (you've probably seen it). IIRC, the color coding system
was white=carryover part, green=modified part, red=new part, and
yellow=new for convertibles. Aside from the floor pans, there wasn't
much white, but there sure was a lot of red.
