Default New to mustangs

Hey guys, I just bought an '02 GT(my first mustang!) and was wondering what I should do to it. I want to make it fast...like low 11s in the 1/4 fast, but need to keep it as street legal as possible. I also want it to be loud, don't really care if I get pulled over for excessive noise.

Welcome to Mustang world! If you want an 11 second car you're probably gonna want to stick a blower/turbo on the thing, as well as other mods to complement the blower.

full exhaust with headers, bigger rear gear (probably a 3.73 if you go forced induction) a tuner, drag suspension on the rear and some nice drag radial tires should all help get you to that goal

thats a tall tale. go 4.10s or else you'll regret it.

02 = T-3650, so 4.30s would be fine as well
