im getting so pissed off at him, he thinks getting those 3 will make a v6 into a GT.....first it was low mioleage on this car he wanted me to get, i found one for 500 more, with 1/2 the miles and is a GT...a yellow 01 gt with 26K miles...and he found a 00 black v6 with 42K miles....sigh

If thats what your dad thinks, make a bet with him. Tell him you'll get the car dyno'ed to see what its making now, then add those parts, then dyno again. Tell him if that gets you to 260hp (I'm assuming he's talking flywheel which means you'd show 215 or so at the rear) you'll shut up and keep the V6. If he's wrong, he's gotta reimburse you for the cash you wasted, and lets you get a GT.
However he is your dad and you still live at home, so ultimately you gotta listen to him in terms of whether you're "allowed" to get a GT. Like I told the other kid, if you dont like it, move out. I wasn't allowed to even get a v6 Mustang when I was your age.

It's more consistant.........I ran 4 consecutive 13.8's in one night. I raced a 2000 5-speed with 4.10's as well he ran a 14.1.

What your dad needs to understand that a lot of these upgrades claim a certain power increase that might be found on non-performance cars.
The mustang already comes chalk full of great parts, so instead of replacing a mediocre part with a performance part and seeing a 20hp gain, you are replacing a performance part with a slightly better performance part and only get 5-10hp.
Now, if the stock stuff on the mustang totally blew monkey *****, then yeah, a cai might give you 20hp by replacing monkey-ball-suck with performance.

As for it being an auto, mine is an auto, i still love it. Not as much fun for daily driving thats true, but first time you race some tricked out honda accord and miss a gear or two and get smoked, yer gonna feel like a retard.
The auto's dont miss gears. <grin>

hey man, i know you've been looking. But be patient with finding a good car. I took a month and look what I have I didn't even have a car when I was looking, so I was carless for a month. You on the otherhand still have a car to get around in. Honestly though, it's not bad to dream, but try and secure a GT first b4 you start thinking mods. If you don't and then you don't get a GT you're gonna be pissed and seems like the world comes to an end, lol. Don't rush into a car either, your gonna be stuck with it. If you really want a manual then wait for a manual. Me on the otherhand was very particular on a GT with low mileage, and either white or sonic blue. I would of liked a manual but I had to sacrifice something and get an auto.
And Icefreezen, I too would love to hear what mods you have to run 13.8's
