I bought ford mustang 2003 with 52k, the drive is little shakey, I mean shaking little more for bumpy road. Do I need to change shocks or can I continue with that, I do not want to spend money on that.
Initial pick up also less, is that mean slippary transmission or anythng else. I drove at 95mi/hr on interstate, running very good, but intially has low pickup(rpm showing 2000rev/min at 70 mile speed.)
Can any one suggest or share their experiences ?
advice me if I need to take any immediate action.

I think the suspension is very tight. This is normal and you must get used to it. The last thing in the world you want is a soft suspension on a Mustang. Ford engines are not high reving engines, so 2000rpm @ 70mph in overdrive is normal.

Shaky Drive? - could be cause your doing 95 mph. Slow it down Road Hog. - If it shakes at any speed then look into having tires balanced which is something you should have done anyhow even when you dont have a problem. Balancing your tires will allow more even wear and provide longer life for your tires. But it doesnt sound like you care too much about tire life or your own by doing 95. 52k miles - you shouldnt necessarily need to change shocks/struts so soon. Get an alignment and tire balance and you may find it helps.

How many miles? V-6 right? Sounds like maybe a dirty fuel system. May have a timing advance problem. Run the codes to make sure the timing advance is OK. Check your EGR to see if it's carboned up. Check for vaccum leaks. The shakey ride sounds like struts, but it's unusual for a RWD to have struts go bad unless it's got 200K on it. Might be alignment or wheel balance. Have a scan done and have the 4 wheel alignment checked as well as tire balance on all 4 tires. This will point you to where your problem is on your sluggishness and fix your shudder/shakey ride. Good luck.
