Well.. this is my 13th Mustang I have had in my life, so I do know some about them. What kind of combo would be good for this one? This is (or will be) my weekend car/fun car. I want it to stay streetable but be pretty quick and look clean.

Suggestions? I am still learning... being a girl I don't always work on my own car all the time (but I try). lol...

are you wanting a budget car, or some highend parts?

something like that, i would go budget- GT40 heads, cobra intake, E303 cam, exhaust, gears, and wheels. maybe subframe connectors, since we all know fox verts are soo stiff

Looks nice for $1000...wats wrong with the wheels? I think they look good
I like draglights but these have a heavy film build up on them from the car sitting for a while. I washed them but all it it did was take the dirt mostly off, they still look crappy close up.

I am thinking of putting chrome Pony's or 03 Cobra style wheels on it.

Yes mostly budget. What you suggested is pretty much everything I was thinking. I want it to be quick but not a radical beast... lol I might add a ZEX Nitrous kit on it also. I want to get like a 4 point roll bar or just get a style bar, a 2.5" Cowl hood, and new truck lid with a saleen wing or something smaller.

Buy a powerball and some aluminum polish. They will buff out nicely.

get a rollbar, in my opinion. then you dont have to worry at the track about being kicked.

dont do a saleen wing- shave the trunk. looks drool worthy like that.



were you thinking of a 5-lug swap? that really expands your wheel choices, and a ton better braking.
