    New daily driver. To mod or not to mod?

    I haven't been on scs in years. Looking to get back on and see what's new. Still have my mustang and recently bought a 2001 lightning. It has 58k miles on it, bone stock! I had to take it to prp and see what it can do. I will say I am impressed. 13.5 @ 102!

    Just say no to mods, lol .... or take a big pile of money, light it on fire and see how enjoyable that is .... if you like that, let the modding begin :D :D :D

    Hard to fight off the urge for faster and more power, also hard to draw the line when to stop ;) Next thing you know, you got yourself a racecar (or race truck in this case).

    Sweet truck. If it were mine I'd just do basic bolt-ons and have fun with it. Pulley, tune, cai, exhaust and call it good. When you get to mod heavy it tends to ruin the fun a bit. Nothing wrong with a mid 12 second street truck

    Last thing I need is two race cars. Lol I was thinking modding it might hurt the value of it down the road. I know it's not a gem, but they are harder and harder to find stock and clean!

    I would go with what Cam thinks. Pulley exhaust tune and call it a day.
