This is going to sound a little harsh but I would give this same advice to my little brother or cousin so read it through, think about it, read it again, and understand that I am writing this because it matters and maybe not just to you.
MustangZ, it sounds like you are a relatively inexperienced driver with a world class sports car. The second part of that is a good thing and welcome to the mustang family. The first part of that statement isn't quite so good for either you or other people on the road with you. You need to learn how to drive in a number of different conditions and situations and you need to take it seriously. As far as mods go, DON'T. Trust me, you don't need your car to be faster and there are VERY few people who can drive a stock GT to it's full potential. Under normal daily driving conditions you should NEVER have to. So what should you do?
Other people have mentioned tracks and drag strips, but probably closer to you and a better learning experience would be to find an SCCA club close to you and start running autocross. You don't have the training, experience, licensing or car for wheel to wheel to racing and while fun, a drag strip won't make you a better driver.
Bring your parents out, ask questions, talk to a safety steward, go for ride alongs find a Mustang guy and ask more questions, go for a ride along. If you can't find a Mustang guy talk to a Corvette guy, there should be plenty of them and the basics between the cars are similar enough. Then get on the track and by track I mean a parking lot full of big orange cones. Leave your ego at the door. You will get smoked by 40 year old ladies in all kinds of cars, many of which are a lot slower than yours. Don't worry about being competitive, you won't be. Instead focus on fundamentals. Ask good drivers to ride along with you and critique you. Repeat the process for about 5 years and you should have a pretty good idea about the limits and capabilities of yourself and your car. Don't believe me? Try it. Along the way you will learn to be a much better driver than you can currently imagine and it will give you an outlet to prevent stupidity on public roads.
