how do the 02-04 mustangs compare to the new 05+ mustangs? i think the 0-60 time is about 3 10ths slower. how much moding would it take to beat an 05? so in the end would it be a good idea to save some money buy getting an 02-04 mustang and having money left to customize it?

maybe like an 03-04 is the way to go. i like the exterior of the 05 and think the intertior is far more better than the older modles, but an 03-04 is probably more affordable, and i can mod it.
or what about a mach 1? i found an 03 for 20k.

All you need to beat a 05/06 is a 13.50 or so quarter mile timeslip.
Not that hard to do. From a stoplight with average drivers I would say a 99-04 would have a great chance with just a set of 4.10s and some drag radials. From a roll you might need a little more, but on the street from a stop drag radials and a steep gearset make a huge difference.

RE: 02-04 vs 05+
I agree with intake/exhaust mods and standard bolt-ons I walk away from them when they are stock, and I 'm still running stock gears. I haven't run into a modded car yet. I was looking closely at the new car this weekend, IT'S HUGE compared to a '99 -04. I believe the new car picked up 300 to 400 lbs. What I do love about the new car is how EASY it looks to do headers. The increased width of the '05 leaves a ton of room to put on headers. If I had one I'd be putting LT's on in a heartbeat.

RE: 02-04 vs 05+
At this point, with the 05's, it's all the same stuff... rally stripes, window louvers, and a couple other small changes... It's more common to find an 05 with stripes than one without... which happens to be strange because none of them came with stripes stock (exculding GT500).
05+ GT's are 3valve and have more power/torque... but they also weigh more... All it takes is nitrous to beat one - $600 [8D] You could probably get him with gears and some drag radial or better tires.
