Default Acceleration Question

Im new to all this car stuff and I have a lot to learn. I have a 1992 2.3 Liter Lx Mustang Convertible(auto trans.).I was wondering if there was any way to make the acceleration any better because it takes forever for it to get to 60 MPH.
Thanks

You can do a cold air intake,and exhaust for starters to get a little more power.

Thanks, I've been thinking about getting a cold air intake. Does anyone recommend a certain brand that sounds and performs the best?

Well for the filter do a cone style K&N. but as for the piping I don't believe it matters much. I have seen people fabricate one out of PVC pipes. I haven't done anything to my car yet, that is probably the first thing i will do though. And my 1993 mustang takes about 12.something seconds to get to 60, lol pretty sad but w/e its a nice car whats yours like?

Its got some window alignment problems and body scratch-ups but that pretty much it, the engine and everything is in good shape.
