lol its not that slow dude...at least you have a mustang

i say 4.10 gears and a tlock will make it quicker but not gain hp...if u want hp pretty much the only big noticable difference would be a supercharger, turbo, or nitrous setup...

Tlock is short for Traction Lock and it makes both wheels spin so you can get rid of the one tire fire and do proper burnouts.
