The 2010 Steeda Q550 Street fighter edition was recently unleashed at the Los Angeles Auto Show and with the evil look it means business. Steeda is calling this Mustang the ultimate street performance vehicle and for good reason as the 550 horsepower motor will shoot this car from 0-60 in less than 4 seconds and quarter mile times in the 11 second range. This category of power on the streets or drag strip could put most if not all factory cars to shame.
Equipped with the most extensive amount of standard suspension upgrades we have ever included on one of our production vehicles – including our Watt’s Link Suspension system – this performance Mustang can simply pull 1.2gs. There is simply no other serialized Mustang available today that offers the performance, styling, and performance attitude that this Mustang has.
“The Steeda Q550 Street fighter achieves its massive power output from the Ford Racing/Whipple Supercharger assembly. We selected the Ford Racing/Whipple supercharger application because it provides its power reliably over a broad rpm range on 93 octane fuel and is fully 50 state emission legal”, commented Dario Orlando, President of Steeda Autosports. “Delivering smooth power throughout the power curve is what this power package provides and it is a perfect power source for the Steeda Q550 Street fighter Edition. When mated with our unique performance block system and our other motor performance enhancements, this package really delivers the mail.
Jamie Allison, Ford Racing Performance Group Manager adds: “Dario Orlando and the entire group at Steeda Autosports have been a longtime and valued partner of Ford Racing and have many aftermarket offerings to choose from. We are excited and proud that they chose the FR 550HP supercharger to power their new Q550 Streetfighter Edition”.
In addition to the supercharger assembly, the Q550’s powertrain also is equipped with:
* Steeda custom engine calibration
* Steeda 11-13 psi belt drive kit
* Steeda Tri-Ax® Shifter
* Speed of Sound A-Pillar gauge cluster with Aeroforce gauges
Engine power is just part of the success story about the Q550 Streetfighter. While the exterior shares the same aerodynamic body modifications of the Q350 with the unique Steeda front fascia with openings for fore-part brake duct cooling, the facia also incorporates unique vented openings for additional cooling. Additional exterior enhancements include:
* Steeda rear spoiler tuned for maximum down force with the least amount of aerodynamic drag
* Steeda back part facia that exhausts air from under the vehicle with maximum aero capability and minimal aerodynamic drag
* Unique Steeda vented hood that exhausts the hot power robbing engine heat out and over the hood into the vehicle’s slipstream with fabulous capability.
“The real beauty of this performance monster lies underneath the vehicle. That is where we deployed every performance handling trick we have in our arsenal” commented Steve Chichisola, Master Mechanic/Technician at Steeda Autosports. “We have integrated the knowledgebase we acquired over the last 21 continuous years of building high performance Mustangs – more than any other Mustang aftermarket modifier – all into one fully cohesive package where ALL the parts are perfectly tuned to work in harmony towards delivering maximum suspension performance.” The suspension modifications include:
* Steeda/Tokico D-Spec shocks and struts
* Steeda Upper Strut Mount Kit
* Steeda Adjustable 3rd-Link Trailing Arm Kit
* Steeda Lower Trailing Arm relocation brackets
* Steeda Billet Lower Trailing Arms

* Steeda Bumpsteer Kit
* Steeda Rear Swaybar
* Steeda Rear Swaybar billet endlinks
* Steeda Adjustable Front Swaybar
* Steeda Watts Linkage kit
