If you want to go fast, best way is to start with a fast car. Boss, cobra, Shelby. Lots of money and work with any less of a car. 11's are achievable with a GT no doubt but it's just a lot more work.

Pickup a used supercharger kit and couple that to a 4.6 3V. KB BAP, 8 rib belt conversion, HT0 spark plugs, CAI, smallest blower pulley, good clutch, custom tune, lower LCA and relocation kit, UCA, 275's or bigger tires and sometime behind the wheel.

I race against a good friend who has a 2007=GT. He runs high 11s low 12s with his 3v.
He has Ford Racing cams, kooks Black Lung intake, 4.30s, ported heads, Kooks Headers, 1 piece driveshaft, skinnies up front, UPR K member, and a 2 step MSD..
I am sure there's more. No weight deduction, stock 5 speed, upper, lower control arms. Etc etc

Does he still get 25mpg with a 4.30 gear? First gear must be pretty useless. His mods are way more costly then what i suggested. Not replacing the rear controls arms with that low of a gear and any power isn't too smart. Not only will it bunny hop and destroy the rear-end clutches, bearings and stress the axle shafts. It'll fish tail and not be predictable on it's launch. I did that crap with my car for two years. It's amazing what a correct rear suspension will do for you.
