I am only selling my car because I'm a commercial fisherman and my boat sank - my loss is your gain. This car is number 46 of 46 built in 2006. Questions? Call or text (516) 567-6177 I'm going to raise the price every 2 weeks until the car reaches its actual value and then not sell it at all because I won't need the money anymore. Steeda Autosports Founder and President Dario Orlando comes from a road-racing background, which explains the stance and visual character of the Q335 Steeda Mustang that recently passed through our offices. For nearly 20 years, Dario and his crew in Pompano Beach, Florida, have been churning out performance parts for late-model Mustangs; many of the parts are designed to improve handling. Along the way, Steeda has campaigned a number of successful road-racing Mustangs, including the winningest '95 Cobra R. The company has also developed a unique partnership with Ford and proudly states that it's the only aftermarket company participating in Ford's Technology Transfer program.The Q335 is the number two car in Steeda's Q series of Mustangs, sitting a rung up the ladder from the base Q with cold-air induction and additional suspension improvements. Above the naturally aspirated Q335 is the supercharged arsenal, consisting of the Q400 and stroked Q525 (see the "Q Is for Quicker" sidebar). While the MagnaCharger supercharger undoubtedly adds punch and excitement to the Steeda Q, it also adds considerably to the price tag. The Q400 tacks $25,000 on top of the cost of a Mustang GT, nearly double that of the Q335's more reasonable $17,000 price tag.For most, the Q335's 350 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque will serve adequately on the street and for occasional open-track outings. It consists of the factory's 300hp Three-Valve 4.6L with cold-air induction, a 90mm throttle body, underdrive pulleys, and Steeda's performance tuning. Also included is Steeda's axle-back exhaust system, which provides a throaty bark on the outside and a tolerable level of tone on the inside. Ford Racing's 3.73 gears make the engine feel even stronger through the gears, which are controlled with Steeda's precise but notchy Tri-Ax shifter. We still haven't found a smooth, quiet shifter for the '05-'07 GT.The company's bread and butter is handling, and the Q335 delivers in usual Steeda form. Similar to earlier Steeda Mustangs, the ride is firm but it doesn't rattle your dental fillings, and somehow the suspension enhancements make the car feel lighter and more nimble. The company's Sport Springs lower the body for a muscular stance, yet even with the front splitter, there was plenty of clearance on our press model for most curb-stops. The Q335 package also firms the chassis with a double strut-tower and G-Trac braces.
