Default what to do with profit from sellin a car???

I just sold my last car today and made $7000 but after I pay off some things ill be looking at about $5000. My question to everyone is this... I really want a set of wheels/tires and a drop/shocks but besides that ill still have some $$$ left over. So what would you guys do?? Go with some body mods and bolt ons??? Or kenne bell s/c?? I know that kb is around 3800 prolly 4100 after tax which means ill have to find alittle more funding or skip the wheels and such. By the way I have a white 04 gt 5spd bone stock. Thanks ahead of time for your opinions!

if you plan to keep the car for a long time, go with the s/c

Save it. I have been trying to but I can't. Put that money in the bank and look at it for a little while. You could always sell your 'stang and buy an '03/04 Cobra.

Yeah i thought about selling this one and getting a cobra but my mom bought it brand new so i know it hasnt been ran to ****. Also the only cobras ive seen for sale are about 28 to 30xxx and the loan would be to much.

Keep looking, they usually sell for about 24k. I bought a new S/C kit for 2700, after I got done with all the accessories like clutch, sub frames, tb/plenum, dyno-tune, now transmission issues because of the S/C I have spent about 6000+

Mine certainly didn't sell for about 24k with 16,000 miles on it. You can find a 35k miles + 2003 Cobra for that price maybe, but not an unmolested low mileage Cobra.
