Since this post is getting action, I know i can search but.....

So what easy DIY N/A bolts one will get you to low (14-14.4 ets?) obvisously chip, exhaust, CAI, posi gear.
would be what I would want to do at most

My previso 305 RS did 14.5-14.7 with 3.73 posi, chip, TBI mod, exhaust and that was way fun and almost fast enough the stock LT1 did 14.2 at the time. and that was what I liked for the street,

So

You can't knock Ford for changing the body style in a couple years. That's how they stayed ahead of GM. Ford changed style every 4-5 years. GM every 10 years which was there downfall.

new body style is awesome. Even the newer prototype 08 and 09 mockups seen in the car mags and autoshows still keep the similiar theme of the existing 05+ models so all is not lost and the 05-08 will still lok just as good I think

I drove my buddy's 01 v6 mustang, all he had done to it was an intake and duals, and I gotta say, it is a world apart from the new generation.

the third gen camaros lasted 10 years due to the fact they outsold the mustang almost 2:1 at the time is there a downfall to that?
