If your going to spend all that money why not buy a GT or Cobra? A Cobra is always the best upgrade you can do to your car. True you can turbo or S/C a V6 and it can be faster than a stock GT, but its a waste of time and money. Your gonna regret sinking alot of cash into a V6, and youll hit a point were youll see what youve spent wand say, wow I could have had a Mach 1 by now. Your gonna tear up your tranny, and not to mention you have a 7.5 rear instead of a 8.8. Seems to fall into the same category as a GT owner wanting to do twin turbos.... your just pushing past the cars reasonable limit, and best just to get the car a step higher and mod that.

But if you reallllllllyyyyy still want a good mod, pick up a 4.10 rear and a short throw shifter. May not boost HP but youll have wayy more fun driving it.

well to be honest the main reason i have a V6 is Being 18 and insurance raping the living **** out of me.....there is now way i could afford to make a payment on a cobra which is a hell of alot more expensive than a V6 not to mention the insurance payment.......but putting in some little upgrades to boost my Hp and make My faster Than All My Friends Cars Is What I Am Aiming At, And We Only Race On A Track, And Second I have an Automatic

shame on you guys. leave him alone remember what it was like to be 18 if i had a v6 mustang then i would have been more then happy and it takes making your own mistakes before u realize it was a waste of money. when i was 18 i had a 1990 honda accord 4 dr had awhole lot of money into it also. piece of crap lol.

yea, IMO i wouldnt waste my time modding a v6 stang. when i was 18 i had a 1988 mustang gt, ill never forget it, only prob it was an auto but it scooted. save up money to get a gt or a cobra. you can pick 1 up for a decent price. and sell your v6.
