The Ford Shelby Steeda GT500

Staff Report

Steeda's legendary handling and horsepower mods come in package form.


05-01-07: Steeda Shelby? Talk about double trouble. Buy hey, this is America right? The GT-500 is a great platform for an aftermarket tuner as it is a widely accepted fact that the car can use some major improvement in the handling arena. All that weight needs more suspension than the Ford marketers were gutsy enough to muster up.

Steeda Autosports President Dario Orlando chose the 2007 Camp Steeda / SVT Owners Association Open Track Event at the famed Sebring International Raceway for the world debut of the new Steeda GT500. Steeda Autosports took the fine platform that Ford Motor Company's SVT Team developed and performed that special Steeda magic to further transform the stallion into an all out performance vehicle - perfect for the discerning performance enthusiast who wants only the very best in engineering and performance.

Not wanting to rest on their laurels, the Steeda Engineering Team took the GT500 to the "Ultimate Level" by using their sophisticated CAD/CAM engineering modeling intelligence, rapid design, and in-house manufacturing capabilities to deliver a completed vehicle worthy of the name: The Steeda GT500.

With powerful engine upgrades and the most extensive suspension upgrades available, Steeda claims their version of the Shelby GT500 is the most finely tuned and best performing one on the planet. Included with this upgrade is the all new and patented Steeda Coilover Suspension System, derived from over one year of research and development, that greatly enhances aggressive performance driving without detracting from ride quality.
