That isn't to say it isn't worth doing, just don't expect to win any drag races; this car shines in its cornering and overall driving experience rather than straight-up power. I like it better than my old Mustang overall but I definitely miss all the cheap mods at AmericanMuscle.com, CJ Pony Parts, etc etc etc...
Mustangs have possibly the best aftermarket support on the planet. The Z is OK, better than most even, but it'll cost you.
