Default The mod you want to get, but probably won't...

What is the one thing you would love to do to youR stang, but probably won't? I would love to upgrade the brakes on mine, but probably won't. I know I would love it if I did, but it is hard to spend a lot of money on the car and not have it go faster !

same here about the brakes.

also, i'd love to paint my car a different color, like a silverish tone, but i'll probably end up repainting it black

I would love to get the FAST management system, R302 block, and a YS-trim drivers side blower. If I am going to dream I will dream big

yah, brakes are definately something i would love to upgrade, but the not so noticable performance (except for those sudden damn red lights...doh!) makes it hard for me to take the extra cash..besides, aren't four wheel disc brakes enough?

The other mod that i would never fork out the cash would be those vertically rising doors, or however you call them..like on the Lamborghini's.. so nice.

plain and simple. A supercharged stroker motor, and a tranny to handle it.

NO, wait!! I have a better idea. The mod that I want is simply the ability to run a 10 second 1/4 mile. Don't care how it happens as long as it's in my car going down the track by it's own power and me driving. oh BTW, it needs to be a daily driver too.

Performer RPM heads, block bored .030 over, new pistons with enough clearance for the 2.02/1.60 valves.....that'd be good for now....

Another vote for brakes.

A set of Baer brakes would be really nice. Unfortunately, they are big $$$. Oh well, one day.

Most people that resonded listed things that they plan on getting. I thought you were asking what we probably won't get. All the superchargers and brake upgrades I will probably get eventually. There is one thing that I would really like. A nice set of those courbeau seats. The reason I will probably never get them is because there will probably always rather spend the $600 on go fast stuff. I think I would save all my money for a TT 460 setup before I would dish out the money for a set of fancy seats.
