RE: 20k to spend
I would have to agree on the investment recommendations. $20K in mods on a Mustang is NOT an investment. You will not get it back, unless you plan on taking it to Barrett/Jackson in 100 pointer condition in the year 2045 
And I'm not knockin Chevy Killer by saying that.
Invest $5K or so in a SC and have more than enough power for the average human being - I mean seriously, 400-450 hp in a Pony is going to be more than enough to kick the pants off of just about anything that pulls up next to you on any given day. So what if you come against a Ferrari, Lambo, or souped up Vette - that will happen like once or twice compared to all the other cars you could beat.
Invest while your young and while you can
Now if you are rich beyond believe and the 20K is just a drop in the bucket - then by all means listen to Chevy Killer

RE: 20k to spend
If no one else will, I am going to throw the BS flag on this one.[sm=bs.gif] Get real, if you have a $20k reserve to dump on a car that can be bought for $25k then it stands to reason that you are not savvy enough to have earned that much in the first place.

RE: 20k to spend
I tend to agree...
I also think chances are someone who can just buy a $25k car for cash, and then still have another $20k cash to just throw at it...would have purchased a more expensive car in the first place. I mean, don't get me wrong I looove the Mustang GT...but if I could throw around $45k like chump change I'd purchase something else.
