Well a full make over will also cost a fortune, but small add ons here/there will definitely turn the car around.
My advice, just drive the car till you can afford something that better meets your expectations for looks/power. Remember cars are terrible investments and money is spent more for joy than any return on investment will net as it will definitely be a negative one.

Yeah, gears can get expensive, if you shop around long enough you can find an 8.8 rear end from a gt that's already been geared for a decent price and it will bolt right in. Watch Craigslist and local papers.

speed = money
i would recommend the gear swap as well. another mod that might be worth while is a split port swap. i swapped a 99 3.8 into mine when the stock 95 blew a head gasket. i figured i would find a decent 99 on up 3.8 and rebuild it then toss it in, couldnt be happier.
between the gears, the spilt port and the windstar add on i love it.
guys above are right though, save your money or all the little things will eat up a budget and get you no where. its your car make it what you want, just have a plan for it.

god damn it! i calculated some things and all the money it will cost to make my car somewhat fast, would have been cheaper to find a gt - but even the gt mustangs don't get much power til like 99-04 unless u get a 5.0
I thought about getting a civic and upgrading it like need for speed, but even that gets expensive and isn't worth it unless u really like civics - seems like unless u get Si, civics are just designed to get you to work.
Pretty mad cuz I literally just got this car in like january, but at the time I just wanted it for looks - but now I'm kicking myself for how slow it feels. Thinking of just making it a show car. v6 mustang is still cool right? i personally rather have it than a hyundai tiburon just to be faster. most chix dont even know what a tiburon is!
any one else here just have v6 mustang for show rather than racing? what are some good mods u recommend to make my car more attractive? i plan to repaint it black when i get more $ would that be nice?

I will never sell any vehicle for a huge loss, but then again it's paid for and I don't need to
