Just don't rebadge it and you'll be alright.

yeah... do subtle things if you wish (no ricer crap with neon lights, outlandish body kits,or stereos that need two alternators to run your stupid "system" that is good for nothingbut making a god awful boom noise... but yeah do what you feel is good. obviously if you are concerned about being a poser, you won't do anything dumb. save up some money for real mods that will make you actually fast - the 3.8 has plenty of potential to kick *** - a CAI or new mufflerwon't unleash all that "power"though. trade it in for a gt if you're not young like me so you can actually pay the insurance, if not, have some fun and gain experience by working on it and moding you're car. and if you race (which is perfectly fine), take it to a local track or strip - NOT THE ROAD.

Hey man I have the GT scoop, foglights, and black paint like the Mach1 has below my scoop, and love it, as well as the honeycomb insert around the tailights with the high Output V6 sticker on there, and true Bullitt wheels. Just be proud of your car, don't care so much about what others think. I tell ya, I may not have a GT, but I get comments left and right about my sixer, and I'm pretty proud of it.

OK i dont care what any one says to u about it being slow not saying you cant make it fast. But that cost money and your better off getting a Gt or a Cobra But the way I see it is,

I am gonna gett my looks down im thinking about 18x9 saleen wheels.
lowering it 1.5
possibly putting on the saleen bodykit and a Carbon fiber hood

i wanna have a nice looking show car but now ill say what i was gonna.

Make it look good you can always buy a gt or cobra or any of thos and put all thos parts you bought on them

It's being an enthusiast. There's no such thing as being a poser. If you want your stang to look good in YOUR mind, than go for it man! This is always a cliche but it's true, it's YOUR car, YOUR sweat...not the spectators. I think they look nice and the fogs will sexify it even more but still not overduing the "poser"-ness. It's like me wearing Nike Low Dunks or whatever they're called, but I'm no thug... am I a poser or do I just simply like the shoes?

I hate the word 'poser'.

Def thanks for the advice everyone. I'm def just about the eye appeal on this v-6. So plain and simple, do what i do, just dont put different tags on it.

i say screw it instead of spending the money on a gt or roush do what im gonna do it'll cost you about $7100.00 to $9000.00 depending on the upgrades but supersixmotorsports.com has a badass 3.8L motor you can buy that would put out anyweres from 390hp to 550hp now tell me another v6 can beat that or even most GT's on the road i just like the idea of not having a new car payment or the down payment you would have to put down on a roush would pay for the motor good luck

ORIGINAL: eaglecatcher

You've got the 00 sixer, which is a hell of a lot faster than many cars out there. You'll beat most other cars stock
Uh... since when? Its not that fast.

But honestly, i dont think your a poser because youve got a V6 and your modding it without rebadging it, and your not goin around saying its faster than most other cars out there.
