If you're looking for a v6 but not too concerned about the price, look for a nice v6 premium which has the upgraded interior, leather, etc. and be sure to get a manual 5-speed, which will bring the cost down a little and the fun factor up a lot.

If you want to upgrade it, you can get a ford racing duel exhaust for about $800. Makes the v6 sound great. 4.0 is a lot of displacement for a v6 and it sounds deep with the right exhaust.

You can also pick up a nice set of 2010 GT 18" rims AND tires on ebay for $600, which is an excellent upgrade for little money. You may have to change out your front calipers with GT calipers however for clearance since the v6 calipers stick out more. (the opposite of the Camaro brakes).

Ford racing has plenty of performance and handling mods that can be done, some cheap, some expensive.

You read my mind i didnt mention, but with the extra cash i had left over (since im not getting a Camaro) id buy a CAI, dual Borla exhaust (not sure which exhaust yet). With the 10k difference id be saving i could buy a supercharger.... but i really dont want to modify that heavily lol

what else should i do besides CAI and exhaust?



EDIT: This is the CAI ive been looking at is.... IIRM, like BBK or some brand like that. Its shiny chrome and has blue "trim?". IDK much about modifications (although i would like to know more)
