Important Mods
After driving a Jeep for over two years I want something completely different and fast. I have decided to purchase a 99-01 GT and want to know what sort of mods I should look into to improve the handling, speed, and looks of the car. Good websites help too, thanks.

RE: Important Mods
i went from a jeep to a mustang, and trust me you wont be dissapointed.
as far as what you want out of the car, be more specific. what kinda budget, what end results do you want. track driver, straight line hauler, ect...
most people here will say the first thing you need to do is gears, then exhaust (headers/midpipe/catback) and then some nitto's and maybe lower c/a's, a lowering kit ect... on the top of this section, theres a sticky for all the common 4.6 mods, read up =)

4.10/4.30 gears are about $200 or you can go to mustangtuning.com and get a package with gears, and a diablo tuner for around 400, deff worth it

RE: Important Mods
Dude, you don't want something that is to fast. Buy a honda. Mustangs are all about power, modifications, and performance. It's the affordable sports car that you can make into a monster.
They are never fast enought!
