You don't have to take my advice... but my opinion is this:
1. Get back on the bike, and ride it. You WILL love it. I guarantee. So you had a scare moment... it happens (to all of us). Learn from it.
2. Your V6 mustang mod plan is a true waste of money... if you REALLY want to go with the car-modding route, take the money you're planning on pouring into the six and save it as you go, then buy a GT. Modding an american six is an extremely fiscally inefficient decision...
3. Don't get worked up when people question your decisions, especially since you're so young... they're mostly trying to help you.

Yeah I have a very short fuse when it comes to people trying to start crap with me. I went all thru elem and middle school getting stuff said to/about me and Ive got to the point where I dont take it from anyone anymore cus I dont know if they are kidding. If i sounded harsh, well, I meant it but just cus i thought u were serious.
man I know u guys are trying to help but Im going thru bike withdrawals right now. I think I finally figured out it was the face shield that caused me to freak out cus I couldnt really see the lines on the road. Also, it would help if I could actually ride it without getting a sermon from my mom on how I shouldt be on the roads. If it wasnt for that Id be out looking for an older 600 or 650. Right now it doesnt seem worth the time or money to get one. She promised that at 21 she wouldnt say anything if I got one and by then the car will be paid off too, so Im using logic.

Anything can be built to be fast all it takes is money.

Im not looking to run 11's or even 13's, just to get a little more hp to the wheels. In the other thread I was just making the point that I could get some pretty good #'s with a supercharger or turbo, but eventually I will end up supercharging it if I don't get a GT first.

Trust me I have a 99 GT with a procharger on it and in the end it would be A LOT cheaper to sell the 6 and buy a GT rather then but a s/c or turbo + supporting mods for the 6. And sure you can do minor mods like full exhaust, upd's, gears, hand held tuner, cai, intake and plenum, but even in the end just that is gonna cost you a couple grand for maybe 30 rwhp. So you spend all that money and your still only going to be what a low 14 second car? (w/o a s/c that it.) From the sounds of it I'd just save your money for school.

Answered part of your question in the post(s) above. And mine is a 2007 V6, not an older model which you all may be thinking of. Even tho there is no real difference, Im just wanting a car that has a respectable amount of torque and looks good too. And yes it is possible to get a sixxer into the 11's, one of the guys on the mustang forum is running high 11's. Its just the will to have that much hp and the will to spend that much money which I have neither.
