+1 on the financial frame. if price is REALLY no object, hell, go with a fully built 4.3, blow it, completely build a 9 inch rear, and push 400++whp. or you could do a v8 swap, then build and supercharge THAT, and get 600whp. of course, either of these options are going to cost several thousand dollars...

what is a realistic price you wanna spend?

and to thewrongguy, i hear that man. its funny, you look up the stats on even some late 80s/early 90s lambos and ferraris, and the 1/4 mile times are what 25,000.00 cars now are running stock.

 

Yeah, but those cars weren't built for the quarter, they were built for the street. Get that ferarri past 100, and that baby is just getting started. Same with the big block mopars, not that impressive stock via 1/4 mile, you get that bitch on the freeway, CYA!

P.S Saying money isn't an issue is too vague, if it's like that, sell it and get an 04 cobra or something of that caliber. If I were you OP, i'd get some exhaust on it, gears, and go frome there. Off topic, (i know i'm the king of off topic but F IT) I can remember running low 13's back in the mid to late ninety's before the big MOPAR CRAZE, and I thought that baby was so fast. I couldn't hardly get a race in that ol' charger. My oh my, have things changed.

 

Haha.....old cars. Anyway, sorry for being vague guys. To JKs95stang: I was going to get an 04 cobra, but I like the new mustang body style more, and my parents did buy this mustang for me, and they said "no v8's" so thats out too. Lol. I should say that my financial frame is around 8 to 10 thousand in the next 4 years. I am doing this gradually, not all at once. But right now I have 4,000 dollars saved, and willing to blow on whatever.

 

Cam, port and polish, exhaust, intake, 4.10's if it's auto, 3.73's if it's standard, tuner, and detroit tru trac...
That'll use ur 4k quick...
And then some...
lol

If your still in high school or just out, I'd save up that 4 large for college or something. The whole point of having a cool car when your that young is to make picking up women easier. Maybe buy some nice rims, nice drop, rent karate kid to get the whole 'wax on wax off' down then start worrying about the paternety suits.

 

^^^^ lol. too true.

but seriously, hes probably on the right track. modding cars is expensive, it is really a rich man's hobby (if you wanna make big power and still keep current on your bills...i have a craqzy friend who pushes a 400whp Sti, but cant pay his phone bill... )and unfortunately, when you start making big power, other things start to break. happened i dont KNOW how much on my old turbo 4 cyl. i would so some light, light performance mods (like an axle back exhaust, a K&N drop in), some nice wheels and tires, maybe a bullit suspension kit, and use the rest of your cash in keeping it up, keeping it clean, etc. and save the rest for rainy days.

 

hahaha. isnt that the truth! I go to change the oil and the rear axle falls off...ok maybe Im over exagerating but it feels like it....but save up for a rainy day, you never know whats going to break next.

4:10's,exhaust,udps,cai,tuner,shift kit/j-mod,intake spacer,t-loc or posi unit

 

Yah, I am a freshman in college. But, college is all taken care of, no expenses on my part. No insurance on the car, no phone bills, no anything. I work in the schools tech department just for fun, and make 23 dollars an hour. About 800 bucks a week, and i only spend about 400 of that a week...... (I buy alot of alchohol LOL) and the rest just sits there.....ok, i do want some rims though....what are some good rims for the new body style mustangs.

 

I'd do

3.73's or 3.90's or maybe even 4.10's from americanmuscle
then some type of dual exaust cat back(SLP LMII's are nice)
CAI
