Keep Stock or Modify ?
Yes the car really does 'wake up' with a few minor mods.
My rule is keep the exterior stock and all money to the engine. After installing a CL CAI/Diablosport 93 octane tune....the car was much faster and more aggressive. Top that off with a new exhaust..in my case magnapacks and you have one bad machine.
I've even been able to talk myself out of a supercharger (for now anyway)

I think 300 hp is good enough IMO

I plan to keep mine stock. Basically if I'm still around to see it as a classic, I think keeping it stock actually makes it more collectable especially if it is in great condition. I do plan on keeping this car until I move on to the afterlife. Hopefully that won't be for a long time though. Have you ever seen some of the great stock Mustangs from the 60s and 70s just kept in like new condition. Thats just my opinion. I do think the modified ones are also fantastic, it's just that I don't plan on any mods on mine. Thats what's so great about having a car like this, you can either keep it straight or there are tons of mods and magazines just devoted to our cars!!
being the owner of three big Harleys, I just cant keep things stock anymore, lol...not too carried away though, the new GT will get Eibach springs, sequential tailites and more than likely exhaust.
The Shelby on the other hand is exactly as it left the showroom, other than NOS date coded parts its hard to even tinker with it, you have to force yourself to leave it stock!...that is where the new car comes in

Definitely modded mine, but I think I'm nearly done. I'm leaning toward Bullits and maybe the racing stripes, but anything else would be overkill for me. I wouldn't trade this car for anything. I plan on having her a long, long, long time!

No such thing as "good enough" or "fast enough". There's only "best" and "fastest" in my book. :nono:

If i had no budgit, i would get chrome exhaust tips, sequintal lights, Chrome tire valves with the GT logo, interior neon lights under the dash (never outside tho) and MAYBE clear corners.. cuz those yellow turn signals lights stand out and look annoying on some colors.
