I Have $4000 How Should I Spend It?

[corey walker]

I have a 2005 Mustang v6 Stock. I want to really make this thing stand out any ideas on how i could make it awesome with $4000?

Take your car to a dealership and trade it in and the 4 grand for a left over 2012 gt on the lot.

Whoa! This is a loaded question. First thing's first.... Are you married?


Oh... and this isn't a tech thread so I'm moving you over to Talk section.

it would take more than 4K to make a v6 awesome.....with that said, I'll stick to the cosmetic side

Cold air, tune, exhaust. Springs, wheels and if anything left over a nice gt/CS front end.

Get a supercharger kit. I think AM has either roots or screw type, bolt on systems.

Trade it in for a 2012. Even better, a low mileage '11. You'll have a better car with a better motor. That old lump that they called an engine can't compare to a new 5.0 even with a blower on it.

Word. Four grand would go a long way to handle the Initial Trifecta.

With a blower on it, many are running in the 11s.

I know that the old V6 in the Shelby Terlingua and CS6 were running around 375hp. It is basically the same engine that is in my '02 Exploder. I can't see them out-running my '03 Cobra. I'm sure that some are really built, but those are probably not too common. I know that the new motor does real well with forced induction.

For the most part, all the S197 V6s respond pretty well to boost (some better than others) and with exception of the 2012+ V6s the drive trains are nearly identical to those in the GTs. Would make a nice sleeper (an idea that I like a lot).

Take it easy. Nerds like me love needlessly big words!

Initial Trifecta:
1. Intake
2. Exhaust
3. Tune

I know what you meant, just wasn't sure the sincerity of your post considering you halved mine.
