[QUOTE="pinetopbilld, post: 11324122, member: 127454"] Hello everbody, I just posted this thread in another area and then stumbled on to the Open Track Specific area. Should have put it here first so here goes. I was raised and have always been a Ford guy, but this is the first Mustang I have owned. Driven several, but first ownership. I have searched and done tons of reading and know what I want the car to do, but not exactly sure how to get there. I need this car to wear several hats. Not going to be a daily driver, more of a weekend toy. (1) It is going to be a cruiser when I want to take my kids with me. (2) I need it to really handle backroad curves when I am by myself. (3) I want it to serve me for occasional HPDE open track events, it doesn't have to be totally modded out just fun to drive. Handling and reliability are more important to me than big power gains. I could stand a few bolt-ons as long as reliability is not sacrificed. Here is what I am kind of hung up on, I was looking for a car to play with, but come across this car and couldn't pass it up. It is a 97 Cobra coupe with 19,000 miles on it. I bought it from an older guy, always garaged. I don't know if I should be modding this car or just leave it alone. So I guess I am kind of asking two things (1) How do I get this car to be what I want I to be? (2) Or is the car too nice and I should just leave it alone? [/QUOTE]
