But of course! "Modding" is what the internet forums are for man!
When I was in high school (many moons ago), a guy in my auto shop class put a '71 Pinto body on a first generation Bronco frame.
It was dubbed "Bronto".
It had a fresh 351 Cleveland with headers.
Man that thing was fast!
One day, he was racing down the main drag, came to a corner and rolled it on it's side. Bummer.

There are probably gonna be about 2,000 cars there. They will have drag racing too. First time at a "Fatman" event. They are normally held at the state park by the lake. However a bunch of douchbags did burnouts after being told not to MANY TIMES and passing signs that said NO BURNOUTS. They got the entire event ruined.
Now there will be a burnout competition too.

I am trying to take my .:R32 and my Mustang. I want to see what they will each do. I would love to be able to run against my own car LOL. However I dont know if my wife knows how to work the launch control.

Nice to meet a fellow Dub owner though man!
If there is anything you can tell me or suggest that would be great. I never owned a Ford before so i dont know much about this thing. What mods should i go with next, what important maintenance is there to do?

Do these come with an LSD from the factory? The prior owner put a set of Ford Racing 4.10 gears in it and it feels when going around corners and you switch the power on like it may have LSD.
We're based out of the Philadelphia area so if you're ever in the area stop on by! That sounds like it could definitely be a decent show! Nice to meet you as well, there's definitely a bunch of our sneaking around here.

I really think the Mustang would do well against the R! As per the mods that's tough! You're car is pretty well optioned and if anything I might look into Long Tube Headers and an Off Road Shorty (Full Size/Standard X pipes connect your manifolds and long Tubes would need a shorty, Sorry if you already knew!) After that I would think about the suspension. These cars highly benefit from some springs, struts, and shocks. They'll make them feel that much more poised running them through the back roads.

On the maintenance side think fuel and spark; Plugs, Plug Wires, and Filters. I'm sure you know better than I do (Young Blood here!) with some general upkeep these things will last forever! Let me know if you have any questions and I'm here to help!

Very interesting rides you have there. I'll have to admit though I'm more partial to the Stang.

Welcome.

The suspension sounds like a good next spot.. It looks funny with all that wheel well gap on her. I like the idea of better handling and stance as well.
Thanks for the welcome! I will have to check out your site! See what kind of stuffs you have on there!

Welcome.
I woudnt expect anything less on the Mustang forum! lol..

However its good to see all you guys are open minded and totally cool!

I will be 100% honest, most Mustang owners HERE where I live are arrogant, self absorbed, egotistical, douchebags. They think NO other car deserves the least bit of respect and they are JUNK. For no other real reason then "just because". If you point out a shortcomings of something they love (for example the fact that Ford douchbag maneuvered on an engine and spark plugs break off all the time in the head) they freak out on you and make all kinds of crap up about every other car. I am on an LSX Facebook page (for the Kia) and a Mustang Facebook page too... they both slam each other. Its fun to poke fun. However some people just go too far. Or get too damn offended.

A LOT of people hate my Kia swap... screw em. Ill see them at a light and make them cry HAHA.

I am glad the lot of you are not trolls! You guys are damn cool! Maybe i just filtered out the trolls with the pics of the Kia and Geo though? LOL!!
