STEEDA Q525

Not sure if I like that wing on the new car, but that run was 1/10th faster than the new Z06. Seems like Car and Driver tested a new Z06 @ 11.8

Yeah like I would believe that crap

They do skidpad testing for handling analisis, which doesnt prove shti

Steeda's 11.73 @ 117 mph. That is no way near being close to the Z06, at all.

C&D tested the Z06 at 11.7 sec @ 127 mph.

I don't work for STEEDA and I'm not saying it is a better car, and I'm not saying that 500HP (or more) in a Mustang is better than 500+ HP in a Corvette. I was only passing along info from a Newsletter claiming 11.7 (with DR's) for the Q525 and "11.8" for the Z06 that was printed on page 132 in the May issue of Car and Driver. Personally I'd take the Z06 because I think the STEEDA looks too boy racer.

Still don't know the price, but I'd like to see how it compares to the Saleen Extreme Mustang.

Here's some info on the Q 525:

Introduces

2006 Supercharged Steeda Q 525

Steeda Autosports introduces the 2006 Supercharged Steeda Q 525. The new model of which a limited number will be built, is the top of the line Steeda Q for the customer who demands the ultimate in performance and drivability. The engineers at Steeda Autosports have paid careful attention to vehicle dynamics to give the Q 525 world class ride and handling.
One looks tells you this is a serious performance car, with its new for 2006 light weight, competition front facia equipped with functional brake cooling ducts. These ducts feed cool air to the 14” Steeda front brakes of the Q 525. At the rear the new Steeda designed, engineered and manufactured rear sway bar with billet end links improves handling and rear compliance.

Power and Performance

The heart of the Q 525 is a Magna Charger 5th Generation MP112 hybrid roots style supercharger with internal bypass valve. The supercharger provides instantantanious boost from 1,200 to 6,000 rpm. The unique valve is responsible in eliminating parasitic drag from the crank shaft to the supercharger.

The Eaton internal rotating assembly components are durability tested to OEM standards and are accepted by Ford Motor Company. The same assembly as used in the Cobra, Lightning and Jaguar XJR.

Working with Magnuson Products, Steeda engineers created an intercooled system as well as a specific tune for the Q 525, resulting in a very impressive 500 horsepower with 530 ft. lbs torque.

Suspension

The suspension dynamics of the Q525 are in keeping with the Steeda Autosports tradition of designing, engineering and manufacturing quality suspension systems that are competition proven. In addition, they are constructed to strict Steeda quality standards and are precision engineered for both improved ride quality and the finest street and track performance.
