mild stuff really isn't worth it, but if she wants to go big, they can be pretty fast w/ the V6. I've got a friend in the 12's w/ his V6 mustang.

At 100K I wouldn't mod it before doing some preventive maintenance. Make sure you don't have any problems with the car now or modding could make it worse and you won't get the results you should from the mods if the engine isn't in good shape.
All in All it is up to her, but I personally wouldn't mod an ATX V6 unless most of the mods were aesthetic.
Just my opinion.

maybe,,, she'll have to rebuild the engine for any real power, but small stuff like intake, exhaust, headers, UDP all help a lot on the stang. there are turbo and supercharger kits that add a LOT of power. A v6 atx stang w/ ATI supercharger 11psi w/ different gears ran something like a 13.3. I've got a friend that will be fixing his 01 v6 stang up soon, it'll be fast.
