Do Mustangs Have What It Takes

I dont have a mustang but plan on buying one before Christmas, a 95 GT to be exact. Anyway my goal is to have the fastest car in my (high) school by next year. When I tell people this they laugh and say Mustangs are not that fast, get a Firebird. Now I am starting to wonder can a I full fill my goal (there are no major modified cars except for some rice rocket, mainly the competetion is trucks, a bmw and LT-1s). I will probaly be able to spend 2-3 thousand on mods unless my business does good which then who knows.
So the question is can a Mustang (nothing below '94) do what I want (low 12s) with around 3,000 in mods.

Thanx

Hmmm, let's see how long this thread gets..... I think Ace's question was thoroughly answered. He's gonna buy a Mustang. End of it. You've lost yet another customer Chevrolet .
