ok here is the deelio!!!

i got my V6 auto in december and i am 17. i am not allowed to customize the car whatsoever. so i need your help to cover the wool over my parents eyes for modifications that they cannot notice or see. so far i have a xcal2 on the wait. i have dynoed the car already and i got a 194.6 and 209 at the wheels.all stock. i was thinking of few things i could do to modify it but i was wondering what your aopinions were.... also the tire roll from the 215/65 tires are killing me and i was wondering id i could fix that with a hefty sway bar and a suspension setup from a mustang GT.
thanks...Greg

Hehe... your parents obviously can't trust you. You should be thankful that they bought you the car. I know my parents never bought me one. I wanted one so bad back in the early 90s. I just got it a few weeks ago.

I will not be buying my son a new car. He wants my Mustang (so he says) when he turns 16 (in 10 years). He'll get it.. but he'll buy it from me.

You should be thankful with what you have and be happy with it.

are they constantly looking under the hood.

i would go for a pair of jba headers and a steeda cai and underdrive pulleys when they come out with them for the v6

and for the sway bar go for a rear swaybar form steeda (good cornering)

welll first of all they DEFINATLEY didnt buy it for me i have to make the payments on the car and insurance which is like 600 a month so i dont have a whole lotta cash but... i think if i changed the intake and headers they would notice a sound difference
thnks

The sound difference with intake probably wouldn't be enough for them to notice unless they drive it alot, or they check under the hood... I doubt that they would notice sway bars, and those would certainly help cut down the body roll, but you are right, the roll from the stock tires is pretty crappy.
