Default Your Dream Upgrade Plan for Your Stang

Ok, if you had unlimited money to upgrade your current Stang, what would you do to it? Everything from engine to exterior to interior. The only rule is you have to keep your current stang. Mine is:

5.4L DOHC w/ forged everything
KB 2.2 Mongoose Kit
Tremec T56 Swap
200 Shot Nitrous (for when a hennessey viper wants to race me )
Full SLP Exhaust
Cobra IRS
Track Suspension, not strip
Cobra R Brakes
Mach 1 Hood w/ functioning scoop (I'd figure out how to make it work w/ the blower)
01 Cobra Front Bumper
03 Cobra Side Skirts
01 Cobra Taillights
18" Chrome Saleens (?)
HID Kit (lol)
Liscense Plate that says "Bye Bye"

Anyway, I figure I'll be close to 1000HP on the bottle and even then I say screw a roll cage and all that. I want it to look like a fast street car, no slicks or anything like that. I don't care how much the tires will spin!

What about you?

Mongoose, VT blower Cams, some little suspension, and THATS IT. I want a 400-450 stock block, daily driven monster, not some damn useless 1000 million hp thing that burns the tires in 6th gear. I could have MUCH more fun in my 400 hp car than you will in your 1 million hp car on street tires. Oh, but first, im paying this stinkin thing off...right...just like I wasnt buying longtubes with my tax return...HAHAHAHAHA

Depends, will the engine from the SAleen S7 fit in our cars? If so, that is all (well, besides the suspension/brakes/trans. upgrades to handle it)

I'd like the mach to be paid off first....then I could get a beater to drive during the week.

1. Cams
2. 4:10 gears
3. Black rims (not sure which ones) Nitto Drs
5. Suspension upgrades
6. Long Tube Headers
7. PHP Intake Spacer
8. Accufab Throttle Body
9. Rear Seat Delete
10. 1/2" Shaker Extension
11. Meziere Electric Water Pump
12. Clutch Upgrade

I'm probably forgetting something, but that's my list. Everything on my list is pretty realistic for me, but I probably wouldn't do the gears, cams and long tube headers until I had another daily driver.

Rebuild the T-45 and make that sucker strong as hell
Stronger clutch (Centerforce or a nice Spec)

You don't want your car to put out more than 300hp?? rwhp or flywheel? your kidding right?? If you drove a stang with 300rwhp you'd take that comment back in a heart beat cause it's a kick in the pants....I know cause I get to do it everyday! ha ha

Since yer kinda slow i'll say it again...

i DONT want my car putting out much more than 300hp... i want to be able to drive it, have it sound nice, look nice, have it so its quick, and not empty my wallet...

i want to keep my 94 in good driving shape for a LONG time...
its quick already with 240ish HP...
i really dont need much more than that...
not to mention they came w/ 288ftlbs torque...

***
It doesn't seem like I'm the slow one.....I think with 240ish hp makes you the slow one. ha ha ha

I wasn't trying flame you dude, I was just shocked that you said you didn't want more than 300hp cause usually mustang owners always want more power. I hear ya on keeping the car very drivable, that's why I said in my post that I would need another daily driver before doing most of the big motor mods.
