What year is the Stang that you own now? I am going to post up a mod list here soon for my BMW as well. Keep posting guys this thread has gotten really interesting.
I want a car so violent that the mere thought of full throttle would cause a heart attack. That actually going wide open throttle in would result in nothing less than instant death! http://www.realperformancemustangs.com/

I would buy two 2000 Cobra R's, one to keep stock  :D and the other one I would supercharge the 5.4 motor and build the car from the ground up with the best suspension, brake and driveline parts I could find.

This is going off the premise that you had to start with the car you currently own.

Exactly what I have done so far and I would continue to do the work myself.  S/C! & some interior is all that's left

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.

The only things left I would do to the terminator if money were no object is build up the teksid block in my garage and throw that in there to shave 70+ lbs off the front of the car, and get a massive Baer front brake kit and rear rotors to match.  Only about a cool $10K or more for both.

The fox, I'd probably go all out with a Boport head, front mount intercooler, boost controller, crank up the boost, and get rid of that porno blue interior.

I'd consider freshening up the paint on both.

I'd do a full Roush conversion on my car.  Hood, front bumper, non-scratched side skirts, rear valances, spoiler, 18" chrome Roush wheels, Roush seats, etc. etc. to make it look JUST like the '99 Roush Cobra (yes there were a few), and paint the car competition orange through and through.

Oh and add a 2-piece rotor / 4-6 piston caliper brake kit and forge my internals, then add more boost.  Right now I'm at 0 psi, so shouldn't be hard to do!   8-)

Other than what I've already done.....

- 69 crown style hood
- remove the over the top stripes then paint the hood and trunk lid black like a 69 Boss
- Roush charger (450hp)
- Black machined FR500 or 2010 GT600 rims - 18X9 up front & 18X10 out back
- Brake upgrade (don't know what type yet)
- Roush stage 3 suspension kit
- CDC classic chin spoiler (black)

Very streetable, but made for show AND go!

 2010 GT 500 running gear in my 06 with a Watts link and supporting pieces to make it work.
 That way it would look like a Q 350 and run like a Q 650!
If you have multiple dyno slips from multiple dynos (without tuning) and you don't have a time slip, you are a bench racer.
