I think if you're going to modify a V6 mustang, get the '99+ mustang with the 190hp engine, as opposed to the previous 145 or whatever HP engine. The 190hp 3.8L has better heads and intake, and with a supercharger, cam, porting, gears and exhaust would absolutely rip. That's about all i'd modify. I'd use one of the older ones maybe as a fun daily driver with stiffer suspension (at least upgrade to GT suspension) and not spend much money on boosting power (unless i changed to the '99+ or whatever year 190 hp engine stuff).

the V6 mustangs have potential, but i'd much rather start off with a 5.0L or 4.6L V8 because all the suspension and drivetrain is beefed up already.
