Picked up new Ride!!
Picked up a new 2014 Steeda modified mustang gt a few weeks ago. Traded in my 2012 Subaru STI. Ended up hating that car. Just wanted to share a couple of pics. Car came from dealer with Boss 302 Manifold, Steeda CAI, Boss 302 Side Exhaust, and SCT Tuner with 93 Octane tune. Also came with steeda sport springs, adj panhard bar, and HD Upper Strut Mounts. Added a roush axle back the other day to complete the sound (sorry steeda). To say I love this car is an understatement. Had a 91LX 5.0 Notchback until 2002 and am glad to be back on the team.

Welcome! Change your upload settings for pics to be highest quality - as is, they upload blurry on the mobile app. Looks like you have a nice set of mods already!

First and foremost was the rattling. The interior rattles over every bump. The seats had very little support for a car that handles the way it does. Also was not happy with the power of the car and how much $ it would have taken to make it faster. The car had a lot of understeer also. I was just not willing to throw huge money into that car. It is a great car but just was not willing to live with it anymore. My STI was Stage 2 and this car would leave it for dead. I just find the Mustang to be a much more fun car to drive.

Dealers selling highly modified cars?

Is it a pre owned vehicle?

No. Car was brand new. They are sold through authorized dealers with full factory warranty. Steeda, Roush, Saleen all sell modified cars through select ford dealers with full warranty.

I knew about Roush and Saleen, but had no idea Steeda did this. Nice ride man
