Every drag racer knows that putting power to the pavement effectively is the key to securing low quarter mile ET times. You can have all the horsepower in the world - and if you can't "hook-up" the car to maximize traction, you will just be spinning your wheels in despair. And when you have an engine pumping 1,156 RWHP and 1,078 RWTQ numbers, the challenge of minimizing wheel-spin is even greater as you need to have effective weight transfer and inherent traction to effectively launch the car the entire quarter mile.

The team at Evolution Performance came to Steeda Autosports when they needed to acquire the very best suspension and other components to maximize the traction of their 2013 GT500. Digging into our extensive parts bin, we were able to supply them some key regular Steeda production parts that we manufacture that were sure to stand up to the massive amount of abuse they would be subjected them to - all in the quest to be the very first in the world to get a GT500 with a standard transmission into the highly coveted 8-second range.

The end result is is a quarter mile time of 8.94 seconds at 159 MPH, with an impressive 1.346 second 60 foot time! Not bad for tipping the scale at a hefty 3,854 pounds! The First and only GT500 with a stock manual transmission to break into the magical 8 second range. We congratulate Evolution Performance for their commitment and dedication to their quarter mile assault and also for relying on Steeda Autosports for some of their performance parts needs. Needless to say, we were 100% confident that our production parts would do the job they were designed to do. From maximizing traction, to ensuring proper weight transfer, the key is to have the proper parts for the job at hand. So whether you are building a quarter mile assault vehicle like Evolution Performance has done, a car that you want to out handle anyone on the track, or just a daily cruiser that you can enjoy from curve to curve or stop-light to stop-light....you can count on Steeda to supply the specific parts you need.
