New 2010 Mustang GT, Let the modding begin!

Well I decided to get rid of my modded 335i that was leased and purchase and new Mustang GT. The big issue for me has always been the interiors and I do not feel like I am missing anything and I think this car is at least as fast as the one this one replaced. I will do more reading than posting for the next few weeks but I just wanted to say hello. I am not sure what my first mod will be yet but I should have a better idea shortly.

Welcome & as the member above stated, once you start you will never stop!

Some good first mods are:

1. A CAI w/a tune
2. Different exhaust
3. short shifter
4. lower the car
5. Wheels/tires

etc....I'm sure many will chime in, enjoy the car!!!

$34K.....great looking car, but I can't believe how much the new GT's went up.....still worth it in my book but just a lesson in life. EVERYTHING goes up...nothing comes down.

+1 on welcome to the forum

Unless you're planning on going FI right away, a CAI & tune combo is the biggest bang-for-the-buck mod. Kudos to your plan to read before you leap.

+1 to both of these comments! Mine was bone stock for 18 months, then I got the "bug" and found a couple forums like MF... and the rest can be seen in my signature along with my drained savings

+1 on reading and doing research. I can't count how many people on here get K&N CAIs and throttle body spacers before realizing that neither make an improvement.

I started doing research 6 months before I even took delivery of my Mustang GT.

And of course, welcome to the forum!
