Just do the car the way you want....
If you want speed, its all a question of money...how fast do you want to go?!
Just keep in mind this is probably your ONLY means of transportation, and heavily modded cars make terrible drivers...trust me, my 475 HP 73 would NEVER be my daily driver...if you want that much horsepower in a daily driver buy a Cobra!
If you want looks, wait for good deals, try to find some used stuff, and you can make it a show car very easily....
All cars are the same speed sitting at a car show or at a parking lot!
Good luck, and keep us updated (with pics!)

totally correct. Im here with my 6 cyl since I was 17, now that Im older, I make more money and have moretime, Im saving up to drop some financing on a 05 GT. I love the 3.8 more than the 4.6. however they halted the 232 series. and I loath the 4.0. I've seen that engine at it's best and it's nothing impressive and sometimes unreliable. so i'm going to check out on the 4.6, just going to start reading up a bit more on it. don't do much of Fords v8s. But it's all possible. but you sound liek someoen who knows... insurance is a bitch. and a v6 can be very quick and a great sleeper. so you're on the right track with the 4.2 and supercharger that thing will fly. of course you'll be doing more work with that engine, but yup all time and money.
But in time you'll see that it's possible for that GT later in life. if that's what you are looking for. couldn't have said it better Xcler8
