Steeda announces 2010 Sport Edition Mustang [*UPDATED]
Ford tuning specialists Steeda Autosports have been teasing the 2010 version of their Q-Series Mustang for quite some time, and apparently for some of their customers, it can't come soon enough. To help deal with requests, the Florida-based company has introduced a Sport Edition model that utilizes an array of parts already in the Steeda catalog.
This particular steed is tweaked to handle, with upgraded billet lower control arms, sport springs, and 20-inch chrome wheels wrapped with Nitto NT05 high-performance tires. Other modifications include a sport shifter, underdrive performance pulleys, a performance air cleaner, and distinctive Steeda graphics. At

I'm more partial to the Pentar design myself.

That "steeda" logo will look real good behind the license plate.

Not every state requires front plates...

Then again, a plate may look better than a cheesy vinyl logo.

I like the stance, black hood, and lack of spoiler, but the graphics and wheels would have to go. Regarding the price, yes it's a bit steep, but at least the focus is where I would put it: handling performance. IMO the GT has plenty of power already, what it needs is suspension upgrades to balance things out.

I realize it doesn't say in the story, but I suspect the $8995 is the cost of the UPGRADE not the total cost of the car :)

I never really liked the previous Steeda Mustang models...
...but this looks pretty darn impressive.
I still prefer the regular GT coupe over the Steeda. lol

I like it better than the Roush version recently shown, although a Roush would whip this things butt. With all the angry looking econo-tuner subcompacts, this stands out as truly retro, and the lack of scoops and spoilers is refreshing. All it really need are twin angled antennas sticking out of the rear fenders....hold on, I have to shove a pack of matches in the 8 track slot.
