If you want to start out with the lightest possible mustang (meaning fastest) go with an '89-93 LX Coupe notchback 5-speed. It is lighter than the LX hatchback and the GT. They are pretty hard to come by but well worth looking for. As for mods I would start out with a gear change (3.55, 3.73 or 4.10) depending on your driving habits and don't forget the frame connectors to keep the body looking nice and to give you better launches. Then I would put on aftermarket headers, H-pipe, free flowing mufflers, and then a throttle body change along with the MAF meter along with a K&N air filter and then go to aftermarket head and intake and then by this time you will need a larger fuel pump and maybe bigger injectors (24 lbs.) A cam would be one of the last things I would change as the stock one is real good until you get to the last point I described. Hope this helps! Jeff
