Ok
1. How about this with all the extra income pay car off?
2. Pick up another cheaper car to drive daily and have so when stang is down for mods you have transportation?
3.Just get an 04 cobra?
4. BLOWER or TURBO?
5. Find a reputable speed shop go out find other's with cars you like see where they get work done, go there and discuss what you wanna do in the end with the people there and take their advice. I mean if where you live is full of curving roads a drag car would be no fun. If you live where it's flat straight and desolate a corner craver wouldn't be as much fun.
6. Stand back throw large sums of $$$ at car until it's what you want.

I don't think it's fair to laugh at him...like he said, he's stupid when it comes to cars, therefore he doesn't know much. Give the guy a break.tomustang said:Never heard of it.

My vote goes to save the first 3 or 4 months payments then drop an 03/04 Cobra 4v motor in it and then buy a Kenne Bell 2.4L 27psi competition blower. You'd haul some ass then. Man...that thing would be soooo loud! HOLY CRAP! I want one.

I believe that the laughing was directed at this? Since that was what 52 was refering to.V_Eight said:
Wow 3k extra a month? That'd be nice 
. If you get a KB, save up a little more and get some forged internals, so as to not find yourself covered in death. Have fun and keep us updated, with those funds lying around you could make a real beast. Oh yeah, you'll need to upgrade your fuel system to I imagine.
