Although it's called the Q 335, the new Club Racer Mustang you see here actually has 350 hp under its black hood. Mustang specialist Steeda Autosports has a whole line of custom Mustangs in their Q series, but this new Q 335 is kind of special. This 2007 Club Racer engineered by Steeda is designed for the track rather than the strip. Whereas the Saleen Mustang we just had in our garage was more of a straight-line specialist (be that dragstrip or boulevard), this Steeda is going to feel more at home at a road course. If you happen to find yourself at a strip, however, you probably won't be disappointed.
Steeda has been building the Q 335 since 2005, but the Club Racer just debuted at the Performance Racing Industry Show in Orlando. It takes the basic Q 335 package and adds Steeda's competition proven Pro-Action Struts and shocks, Front Control Arm Relocation Kit and chrome-moly rear lower control arms. The list of options from there includes a more aggressive competition front fascia, Steeda's billet front brake duct kit, and 14" front and 13" rear brake upgrades. You can buy a Steeda through select Ford dealers or build your own by ordering the Steeda Ultimate Power-Pak to add the extra 48 horsepower, and Club Racer Package for the improved handling.

I think one of Jeremy Clarkson's biggest complains about the Mustang platform was that the rear suspension was a live axle like a truck as opposed to independent suspension (like on most cars) making it pretty bad on a track. Whatever, at least it looks sweet.

Actually, a live axle isn't as much a disadvantage on a race track as on the road. Race tracks are usually fairly smooth, and there a live axle actually makes camber control pretty much a snap. On the other hand, if you've ever driven at Talladega you know that some race tracks AREN'T smooth, but those NASCAR guys get along with their live axles just fine.
All that said, how much would a Mustang cost if it had IRS? Too much to have the level of sales it has, you betcha.

This car is pretty cool, although I'm not sure how much I like all of the boy racer stickers everywhere.

does anyone know how much it would cost to convert your mustang to a IRS?
