Get a Z06?

Seriously dude, want to put some parameters on that (e.g. what you are willing to spend, is it just this one race or you want your mustang to be consistently fast, etc.)?

unfortunatelly for us ... vettes are pretty handy and easy to mod, and respond very good without spending a lot of $$$.

But since u're an auto... the major mods u can do for it is a CaI+Tune, gears and Torque Converter. That´ll help you cut around .8 sec of the 1/4 mile.

They weigh a lot less. FI, tune, and gears would be great. Not sure what kinda driver you or he is, possibly get a nitrous setup.
