DISCLAIMER: OP is almost 19 and doesnt care for any sort of practicality I will take suggestions as well.
Oppo its time for you to choose, Turbo 4 or N/A V8. Lets put yourself in this situation you live in the bay area and currently have a ‘15 FoST with a new job so you’re stuck between extreme mods on the FoST or a modded ‘14 Mustang GT
The FoST mods:
Air Suspension with Accuair E-level
Wheels(unknown brand)
Intercooler
Full exhaust
Intake
BOV
Short Throw
Splitter / Rocker Panels
Chassis Reinforcement (subframe connectors)
LSD
All LED Lights
Dyno Tune
Probably Brembo 4 Piston Brakes
Power should be in the 270whp and 370 wlbft range enough to DD
Advantages: to modding the FoST like this will be that I currently have 0% APR on this car and warranty work will be easy to get done with my dealer connections even with major mods. The FoST will be about $400 less a month if we include insurance costs. The FoST will also be much nicer place to sit in than the GT for a daily commute.
Disadvantages: are that the FoST will be much slower than the GT, not look as cool and probably get about the same mileage as the GT.
2014 Mustang GT Build:
Boss 302 Head
Air Suspension Accuair e-level
wheels(unknown brand)
One Piece Driveshaft
GT500 Rear Valance
Corsa Sport GT500 Exhaust
Intake
Ford Racing Brembo 6 Piston Brakes
Subframe Connectors
Boss 302 Steering Wheel
Advantages: The GT will sound much better, be much faster, and look nicer than the FoST.
Disadvantages: Insurance cost is another $100 a month. Mods are a few thousand more, the car is a few thousand dollars more than the FoST, and the interior is very poor compared to the FoST.
Last Option: 2016 BMW M3 in Fashion Grey through BMW Individual with the executive package on HRE P101 wheels. This will leave me with not as much money as I should probably save each money but maybe a whole lot more fun.

I can at least say my last choice would be the less comfy, more expensive, less efficient, least nice Mustang.

I’ll vote for the least painfully modded? Can I steal the FoST Pre-Op?

I know that the Focus will be more cost efficient, more practical, easier to park, more reliable, can carry more people, more comfortable, and generally a better choice over all, but in the end I will still chose the mustang. Just because I think it looks cooler and it will be a bit faster.

2016 Camaro 1SS.
0-60 in 4 seconds, looks the goddamn business, and is built on the Alpha platform, so it handles really well. Spec the dual mode exhaust and 6 piston brakes, throw on some nice wheels such as Rotiform KPSs and sticky rubber, and get ready to throw down.

I’m thinking the air suspension on each will reduce reliability but if it’s what makes you happy carry on with that theme. I’d choose an unmodded GT or the M3 myself.

Get an E92 M3. Much better than a mustang GT, can be had for like $30k easy.

Of the two Fords, part of me wants to say ‘go for the Stang. Your young, enjoy yourself’, but if it’s a daily driver and your going to be keeping it for a couple of years or so, I’d have to say ‘go for the FoST’. It’s a good car, very entertaining whilst also being easy to live with.
As for the BMW, nope.

I currently do not have a strong love for the V8 mustangs. So with that I will say FoST. I would love an ecoboost Mustang built to its limits however.

Ecoboost Mustang. Best of both worlds.

I’d say none of the above. Save your money, buy something a bit older and build it the way you like it. Cut out the car payments, get lower insurance rates, and save up some money. You will come out so much further ahead in a few years.

Color me extremely confused. You listed three extremely specific modded cars. Are these pre built cars for sale you are considering buying or just trying to imitate. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to find the m3 in that color.
I honestly want you to stop making these posts and get rid of the fost you stupidly bought to begin with. Since your 19 and seem to have awful money sense and no one here will stop you go buy a m3 and ruin your driving record and insurance it will be totally worth it

You must be absolutely loaded. As a former bay area resident I’d probably go with the GT. Be different.
