Steeda Mustang Track Day - Steeda's Q-Power

The red Q500 builds on the base Q350, using a supercharger to bring the horsepower numbers up to more than 500.

The combination of more power and a race-tuned suspension make it a great road car as well as quick on the strip with quarter-mile times of 12.2 seconds at 113 mph.

The Steeda Q350 delivers a considerable improvement over the stock Mustang, thanks to its patented Steeda suspension that has achieved 1.2 g's on the skidpad with street tires.

The engine produces more than 350 hp thanks to the Steeda cold-air intake, performance exhaust, underdrive pulleys, and performance calibration, resulting in a very quick 12.7 e.t. in the quarter-mile.

The GT500 is already an amazing car, but the underdrive pulley, supercharger, and other changes on the Steeda Certified GT500 catapults the standard V-8 from 460hp to an aggressive 625.

The second part of the story is the handling. The car was outfitted with the patented Steeda Coilover Suspension System, adding new coilovers, sway bar, and control arms. The combination makes for a high-performance car that corners on rails and out-handles any other GT500 on the road.

The Grabber Orange QV6 uses a positive displacement Roots-type supercharger specially tuned for the 4.0L V-6 engine to produce 355 hp.

It's the best of both worlds, retaining the high-mileage qualities of the V-6 and keeping insurance premiums low, especially for the younger driver. Because of the V-6 engine, insurance premiums are typically cut in half, meaning the supercharger will eventually pay for itself even though the fun continues.
