If you're going to spend money that will take the car beyond the cost of a Mustang GT why not just buy the GT??

you will get more responce in the 4.0 section

of cource you should go for some type of forced induction for racing, trubo for street, super for track (usually that is)

If you are thinking about "racing it on the street", please do us all a favor and make sure you have a multi-million dollar liability clause on your auto insurance policy. The people you hit will need lots of money for their hospital stay and recovery!
Or just do the right thing and keep the racing where it belongs- at the track.
If you think your too young to follow this advice you might want to hear from the 13 people at that clinic here in Los Angeles who are in the hospital due to someone's need to street race. They have injuries that are painful to describe.

I agree with Orion on this. Keep it off the street. It's people like you that keep raising my insurance cost. I can only imagine that your probably under 25 years old and pay over a grand every six months in insurance cost as it is. Remember, the first accident, ticket you get, will almost double your insurance rates and then you'll have to decide whether or notit is worth the additional insurance cost to keep the car. You want to race, take it to the track!!
