Foxes are really mod-friendly, what are your goals? Street/strip? Personally, weight reduction, wheels and a nice set of sticky shoes, intake. All fairly low-cost.

Notch + BIG BLOCK 460ci motor=:rockon::rockon:
Hahah yeah the motor choice is still in the air big time! How well would a 2011 GT 5.0 work in the coupe? :idea: LOL
A really well built, high reving, high compression, N/A 347 is a better choice. Car could run 10's on motor all day and be reliable as a grocery getter.
I say saleen body kit,., I saw a notch with a whale tail.,., bout crapped my pants

Don't forget about the A4 block.
There are some relatively inexpensive things you can do to bump the power or feel of your car if they haven't been done already...
Remove intake silencer
Advance ignition timing
Tune up
New fuel filter
shifter ( if a 5 speed car ) or shift kit if an AOD car
rear gears
None of these mods is all that expensive ( the timing adjustment and silencer removal are free ) and some like the shift kit for an AOD, or especially the rear gears will do quite a bit to how the car FEELS when you drive it...:beer:

gears are the best bang for the buck. subframe connectors, torque box plates, and drag radials
