Lighter.
But mainly I would have Ford not axe their hurricane engine project. I reallly think the Mustang could have benefited from some good old fashioned cubic inches.

If I can't change the styling, I'd make it smaller.

If I could change the styling, I do so, and leave it the same size.

Completely restyle the rear end. That overhang is hideous and it doesnt flow with the rest of the car. I'd also kill that goofy looking quarter window behind the bpillar. It didnt look good in 67 and it still doesn't look good now.

Re: How would you change the Mustang?

Lower the hoodline, and make it slope downward more toward the front. I've always disliked the Mustangs' anti-swoopy high and flat hoodlines vs. the F-body. And the new 'stang makes the SN95 look like a fricking sports prototype racecar in comparison.

Of course with the mod-motor they're kinda stuck with tall hoodlines. GM absolutely did the right thing going with the LS series instead of DOHC.

Re: How would you change the Mustang?

I would take away their superchargers j/k In all fairness, I have to admit that I like the car and there is nothing I would change.

Re: How would you change the Mustang?

I would add about 50hp to the base GT and produce an available dealer installed bodykit. Thats about it.

Shorten the overhang in front and especially the rear.

Re: How would you change the Mustang?

Get rid of the '69 nose and dash, thanks very much. Size and weight are acceptable, though.
