Welcome to the MF, first mods most people do and see instant response CAI, and a custom tune. This area is more of a welcome area to ask about mods and stuff go the the 05-13 area and you will get lots of responses other than just welcome.

Finally got my photobucket account reset. Thanks for the welcome. I'm looking at the CAI and tune packages.

Congrats, sweet looking ride. That is an excellent platform to do some mods. Here are a few mods to directly answer your question, however as others have said, if you take it to this section:
https://mustangforums.com/forum/2005-2013-mustangs-43/
you will get more responses.

For throttle response, 2 mods that will give you more then most others:
CAI + Tuner package
-I would highly reccomend you look at American Muscle and Bama tuning. I ran there "race" tune on my 08 GT before I went supercharged and have to say, the throttle response specificaly is what sold me on them. Simply amazing change on the drive by wire pedal.

Gears!
- Nothing is gonna feel as good as a set of 4.10s. Do your research to find a good shop though.

--------------
Suspension. There are lots of choices and different ways to go. How much do you want to spend? lol. Here is the quickest down and dirty from my experience.

Unsetled feeling: Body flex:
http://www.americanmuscle.com/bmr-subframe-0512.html

Lower / stiffer / sporier ride:
http://www.americanmuscle.com/eibach...ings-2005.html
tons of choices, I used and loved these

Wheel hop / soft rear end:
http://www.americanmuscle.com/bmr-lc...ical-0512.html
http://www.americanmuscle.com/bmr-ad...poly-0510.html
again, tons of choices, these are for instance. I like sperical on the rear end, poly on the body side.

More weight transfer feel, more "drag launch" feel:
http://www.americanmuscle.com/bmr-lc...cket-0512.html

Rear feels sloppy in a corner:
http://www.americanmuscle.com/bmr-adj-panhard-0512.html

Better rebound, more controlled bounce:
http://www.americanmuscle.com/tokico...trut-0509.html

MANY MANY more options, configurations, can get way to long to list here. But this should get you started, give you a lot of reviews and ideas to look up.

Yeah I was afraid of that. Just like the ZRX

Thanks, I'll dig in the appropriate subforums. Don't need an auto-cross monster, just want a little more "go now" and composure.
