Welcome to the site dude - where about's in Canada are you? There's plenty of go fast parts available from a couple of different spots - don't really have anything specific for you, but there's lots to do. ha ha ha Better get your wallet open if you want to put every single thing you can on to make it go faster and look good! Welcome again! Good spot to start would be the V6 build thread VAEM's got going with the project he's got going for his daughter.https://www.cmoc.ca/general-mustang-tech-chat-46/vaems-sn95-264ci-4-3l-v6-mustang-build-13633/

Good luck with your build up. Try a CAI tune gears exhaust s/c turbo nitrous stroked/bore etc. The last 4 things are pricey but hey if you have the need for speed you need to spend.

"Speed is just a question of money - how fast do you want to go?" or something like that was a quote from Mad Max I think. True dat.

honestly bro, i had the exact same thing, 2000 V6, with a 5spd. great little car. never the fastest thing but it can be done. question is: do you want to spend all that coin on a V6? is it cheaper to just buy a gt? that's all up to you. as for your main question, in my opinion in order of importance:
-do your maintainance! are the plugs good? gear oil? leaking oil? that kinda stuff. no point in having go fast mods if your engine is poo lol
- Drop it (do the whole suspension, not just springs)
- caster/camber plates
- wheels/tires
- rear diff gears (3.73 for manual//4.10 for auto)
- short throw shifter // j-mod valve body (auto)
- full exhaust

then we possibly get into the big boy toys. nitrous, supercharger, or my personal fav... TURBO!! (no bias there... ) just make sure you do your research, there are a lot of good places to look, and i'm sure most of us will be more than willing to answer any questions

good luck with the car. i miss mine more and more every day

CAI Cold air intake ie K&N
Gears ie 3:73, 4:10 4:56 etc
Turbo ie turbonetics
Supercharger ie X-Charger
Exhaust ie FlowMaster, MagnaFlow, GT takeoff
Lowering springs ie Eibach, Steeda Ford Racing
Throttle Body spacer ie BBK
Tint windows ie for looks

Thats a good start and remember google is a great friend for research purposes.

best one here imo.

i'd start with those to be honest, wheels/tires are totally personal choice kinda thing, and if you NEED to do something to the exterior, get your windows tinted, a mach 1 chin spoiler, maybe do cobra lights?

Welcome aboard.Good luck with your build.These guys seem to have some of the stuff covered for you.I will add that if you have a 5 speed,a shorty shifter from B&M,Hurst,Steeda,Pro5.0,MGW will add a nice feel.Also subframe connectors from Steeda,Kenny Brown,Maximum Motorsports will add a nice solid feel to the car as a whole.
