Today Steeda, the Pompano Beach-based company unveiled the Steeda GT500, which, uses Ford’s 500-horsepower Shelby GT500 as its base. No signed numbers are provided in the press release, but given that the Steeda GT500 incorporates the company’s cold air intake, ECU tune, and pulley upgrade, we figure on the output being somewhere between 600 and 650 horsepower.

Upgrade price: $13,995 USD.
