Default Plans on my car

Ok,

I'm a junior in Highschool and My mom just told me that I have to buy a new car before I go to college. She feels that my mustang isn't reliable enough for all the traveling back and forth I'll be doing. So I'm planning on buying one of those Ford Fusions, and I'm going to make my mustang into a drag car. I don't have any performance plans yet...but I just got really excited about the thought...so I decided to share it with everyone.

Screw that.... keep it a street car. My Mustang is more reliable than my 2000 Dodge Intrepid!

Anyway, if you want to make it a track car:

351W ---> 418W (all forged)
AFR 225's
Performance Automatic SuperComp C4
9' rear w/ 4.10's
Carb'd

10's all day

He said he was he was turning it into a track car

I remember when the guys at Ford Performance Solutions were trying to convince me that a 393W w/ a C4, 225's and a Don Hampton would be perfect for a nice daily driven street car
