11.222 @ 125.17 on 1/4 mile pass in Steeda's modified S650 build #SilverBullet!

You don’t need most of that, headers, pull some weight and…NBD

Any of us that seriously race our
Cars know these a basic normal mods for racing.
It’s assumed cost,
Can’t wait to see converter and spray… these cars will be in the 9s before Halloween.

Long tubes without a tune nor codes makes it interesting.

edit: no codes is an assumption on my part.

I was pumped when I saw this last night, I knew the cars had to be more capable than what we have seen so far…

So much dud talk and hate from s550 owners.
This quieted that down REAL QUICK.

Dude it didn’t quiet down nothing. You got 13k in parts then what another 5-7k install? There is 80k there to run a low 11. Get real.

Sadly, they aren't shutting up. Now they are all screaming big deal with "$13,000" in parts added and weight reduction.

My argument is, what do you expect STEEDA to do with their own development vehicle? NOT put their parts on test them and run them? It's honestly beyond logic with the hate.

I have said it there, and I will say it here, THANK YOU to STEEDA for leading the way with the 2024's.

Yes - thank you. It's not like we are trying to sell a package that is $13,000 & purchase it - we are showcasing the S650 platform and its impressive capabilities. Many customers invest heavily in drag car builds, and for those seeking top-quality, track-tested parts that can be pushed to the limits, we have a range of options available.

I love seeing what Steeda can do with the Mustang. Looking forward to getting some Steeda parts added to mine shortly!

 

[Diocletian]

So maxed out bolt ons, drag pack and weight reduction and its only 11.22 @ 125? Kinda meh too me, I hope this engine can be tuned soon!

I think a comparison of a stock 2024 gt/performance pack and like a "Stage 1 kit" that includes the IRS lockout can some other recommended Steeda mods would be cool. That why we can see what provides the most benefit?

People around acting like it only cost $20.00 to get the S550 into the low 11's at first.

Maybe refresh some memories. What was on Silver Bullet #1 when it was low 11's into high 10'?

And x2 on the parts quality.

I know right? I mean American Muscle ran 11.97 stone stock with 93 on the factory Goodyears. It cost them a $20 entry fee to go 11s.

I was scrolling through IG the other day and saw a reel of a 24 running a 10.8 at 129. I cannot find it again.

So many haters out there! This shit happens every time a new model comes out!

Full weight too! And then an 11.6 with E85 same day.

Not knocking Steeda here at all, I think stock for stock the S550 just had a slight edge at the strip due to weight. I also feel there is something weird going on with the s650 factory calibration- I have a feeling there is a lot more safety/protections built in to the factory tune that might be limiting the newer cars in some aspects. Just my speculation- as someone who has tooled around a lot with our manual s650.

Probably JPC's car, gutted on a drag pack with a 50 shot. Also very impressive considering the factory tune, much like Steeda's. Love seeing everyone starting to go fast out there!

You are right not knocking Steeda just comparing platforms. One can go an 11 and the other costs more to begin with and the customer will have a 20k bill to run low 11’s.
Guess what at the end of the day you both have 11 sec cars albeit one is probably 25k cheaper all in. YMMV.

Interesting given how much the stock tune short shifts at those speeds of steeda's car and this one.

Big difference from a 11.97 to a 11.22.

JPC's 24 did a 10.80 @129 on a 50 shot with some weight reduction and drag pack.

There is a BIG difference in money for .75 tenths. Parts, Labor, and the price increase. All told 20-25k difference to get .75- There is a saying “the juice isn’t worth the squeeze” comes to mind.
JPC- a tin can on nitrous with a drag pack that ran what it should have.
