Op, honestly, I think your situation is 90% of people on this and every car site. I have LITERALLY had my 04 for 12 days, have spent $1,500 in basic mods (not even power mods yet!) and have the next $15,000 planned out.
In addition, I was already looking at 94-98 low mileage Cobras last night so I can dedicated the 04 to being a highway monster and the 94-98 as a road racer.
Just enjoy WANTING more. Stay within your budget and prolong getting mods to sustain the fun. It would suck to buy the car, immediately spend $15,000 and it come back with 700whp and a perfect suspension. Then you would be bored with it in 2 months.
