Steeda's 2005 Mustang #20 Race Car Build
This build has played a large part in the development of many S197 parts you see on enthusiast's cars on the road today. This 2005 Mustang #20 Race Car Build was originally bought as a body-in-white to be developed and built into a race car. It was originally built to race competitively in IMSA Grand Sport,and did very well throughout the Southeast!
Still used today for testing of new parts in development, we plan to get this car back out on the racetrack soon to continue to push the limits of our parts and this S197 chassis.
Check out more information below to learn all about this iconic build in Steeda history!
