Default 05 Mustang "tune-up"

Lets say you have your 05 mustang GT w/ auto. transmission. You have 5000-10,000 dollars to spend on performance upgrades. What would you buy while keeping the car decently healthy.

Soap

Clay Bar

Polish

Wax

Invisible Glass glass cleaner

Rags/ Towels

Wash Bucket

Oil

Oil filter

Some stuff to treat the tires

Battery cables

tire pressure tester (not a cheap one)

That's about it on the top of my head. Still probably under $100.00 though.

with $10,000 you can pretty much do it all if you spend wisely. A better question would be what wouldn't you do with $10,000.

I'm with MobyDickDog... cleaning supplies and maybe a car cover.
I'm a "purist" for the most part (and old by this forum standards (43).
I don't even want the dealer's name on there where I can't easily get it off.
I threatened them that they better NOT drill any holes in my car!
I do wish it had a scoop and a sun roof though....

Why not make it a Real GT and drop in a Stroker engine so you can race in the GT class?
Be sure to bring along some sand bags becuase I heard that after the Mustangs humiliated the way more expensive Porsches and BMWs that the Ford racers have to carry an extra 100 pounds to let the Kraut cars catch up!
