If you have an A4 get a converter. If you have an M6 get a clutch and gears. Otherwise get a Lid, throttlebody, LS6 or LSX intake, long tube headers and y-pipe, catback exhaust, and underdrive pulleys. That should get you started.
Welcome to the good side.

Oh boy are you in for a treat 
Being a former mustang owner myself, though, I see your interest. Get ready to start dumpin' money and enjoyin every second of it.
For you,
New Stall
Lid
Long Tubes/Y Pipe
Cat Back
Subframes
A little bit of a lowered stance; Pro Kit and Shocks, perhaps
I'm excited for you. Let the fun begin.

That sucks man. If your key is worn out you can get another key made for around $15-20 bucks. If it is inside the ignition then it will cost a lot more. Don't let this discourage you. This isn't a overly common problem.

called the dealer up and he said I only had engine trans and rear warranty , hmmm so i looked at all my paperwork and nothing states that , only says 3,000 mile warranty on the whole car with just a 100 deductable , so he agreed to have the car towed and there replacing the key and cylinder and if there is any other problems too
