Earlier this year, HP Tuners was the first to develop tuning support for the S650 Ford Mustang, which was notable given the fact that The Blue Oval previously stated that such a task would be difficult for third-party companies to achieve. At that time, Steeda already had its hands on that Mustang tune, and the long-time supporter of the iconic pony was also the first to test it out on the track at the Homestead Speedway outside of Miami, Florida, as Ford Authority previously reported. Now, the Steeda Q500 Enforcer Mustang has reached a rather impressive top speed at another speedway a bit north of there.
That track is the legendary Daytona International Speedway and its road course, where the naturally-aspirated Steeda Q500 Enforcer Mustang reached a top speed of 176.7 miles-per-hour this past weekend with Glen Vitale behind the wheel. The pony car managed to hit that impressive mark thanks to a variety of proprietary engineering advancements developed by Steeda itself, and did so without the aid of forced induction.
In the case of the Steeda Q500 Enforced Mustang, those upgrades consist of the company’s cold-air intake and a custom tune from it and Palm Beach Dyno under the hood, unlocking 520 horsepower from the car’s 5.0L V8 Coyote engine. Underneath, the Mustang utilizes Steeda’s G-Trac suspension system, a Steeda/Brembo brake upgrade kit, 18×11-inch Apex wheels, and Toyo Proxes R 18-inch DOT slicks.
“The Q500 was absolutely dialed in,” Vitale said following his high-speed run. “The Steeda coilover system gave me the confidence to attack the bus stop with speed, and the grip from the Toyos on the wide Apex wheels was phenomenal. When we hit the banking, the car felt rock solid as it pulled to 176 mph – a truly exhilarating run.”
“This milestone highlights exactly what Steeda engineering is all about – a complete package of suspension, brakes, wheels, and power that redefines Mustang performance,” added Dario Orlando, President and Founder of Steeda. “The Q500 isn’t just a horsepower story; it’s about control, grip, and confidence at the limit. To see it achieve 176.7 mph at Daytona with our coilover system leading the way is proof of the passion and precision behind every Steeda vehicle.”
