What would they be? Let's say you get your favorite body style mustang. It's completely stock as if it were directly from the factory. You can make ONLY two modifications to it. What would they be?


I personally would want an 05-09 manual trans GT.

My two mods would be, lowering it about 2 inches, and adding a deck lid blackout panel.

That's tough-I go back and forth on this daily as I'm likely getting into a '15 soon but if I had to do it all over again I would shoot for a Ford Racing 4.10 Gear & Bama Tuner

Just my .02!

To my 14 gt track pack:

Gt500 axleback (installed)

Some fix for the transmission/shifter : blowfish/mgw

That's all I would need to be content right out of the box. Is that all I will do...? Hell no

I would want a 69 fastback with a 429 brand new. As far as 2 mods I'd get the biggest blower you could get and that crazy paint that changes colors to want what ever you want with your phone app.

I'd probably go with a suspension package and a procharger but of the two I'd rather have the suspension package above all.

Based on what I've already done, exhaust and speakers.

The two that I would *keep* (because I already modded her) would definitely the Suspension has to be the first, which includes springs to lower 1", shocks, swaybars, LCAs and Adjustable Panhard Bar. Even if I had to have retained the old stock Anthracite Bullitt rims.

Second is it had to have the GT500/CS bumper and paint, which includes the rest of the sill and lower front bumper being painted to match the GT500/CS lower bit, HR010 Hot Rod Black. This has to be a *package deal*, or it doesn't work.

And I'd be happy if those were the two.

Is it cheating to pick a different car than mine?

For example, I would pick a 13 Boss 302 Laguna Seca and change the shifter and clutch but only if they gave me trouble.

Like Barebone, the only mods I have planned for my 14 GT track pack is the exhaust (I did the 302 side pipes) and the shifter. Even then, I'm hoping not to have to do the shifter. Don't touch my side pipes though, I love them.

LOL, I was confused when OP said "I personally would want..."

Probably shouldn't be allowed, who wouldn't pick one of the original Shelbys...
