The Ford Mustang has enjoyed worldwide popularity as one of the most coveted sports cars for years. In Europe in particular, demand has increased since it's officially available again. Steeda experts have now developed a comprehensive upgrade package for the Mustang to optimize its handling and performance. And recently the result of efforts for distribution in the European Union has been certified and homologated. That on the top model Mach 1 based coupe is the first vehicle that not as a Ford, but officially as the Steeda Mustang Q767 Mach 1 with its own COC papers and own construction number is sold. In order to achieve the desired sportier driving dynamics, Steeda has extensively revised the chassis. The factory MagneRide dampers are combined with adjustable Steeda springs to noticeably reduce body roll. But that's just the beginning of a long list of improvements.

Additional reinforcements in the front area and jacking rails in the rocker area ensure increased rigidity of the chassis. The latter also allow faster and easier jacking up of the Mustang. The biggest challenge of the Mustang chassis, however, is the rear axle, which is prone to unrest in the standard condition.
Steeda fixes the problem with the so-called IRS system (Independent rear suspension), made of reinforced Tie Rods, more massive struts to connect the upper and lower Wishbone as well as bushings and aluminum discs to reinforce the rubber mounting at the connection point of the chassis and rear axle. This gives the rear a previously unattainable level of stability, the wheel jumping under load is avoided and straight-line stability is significantly improved.
The package is rounded off by adjustable Steeda stabilizers on the front and rear axle. adjustable Top Mounts front and rear wishbones (optional) allow easy camber adjustment. Although the Q767 Mach 1 is homologated throughout the EU, some equipment options vary by country. Fiege performance from Hofgeismar, Germany, is the main distributor of the optimized Mustang and offers further optional adjustments that make the Q767 even more dynamic and individual.
Performance increase from 460 to 480 PS
If desired, a power pack can provide a performance increase from 460 to 480 hp, thanks to revised engine software. The standard flap exhaust system is retained and guarantees a powerful sound. In addition, two track packs are available, which include further suspension upgrades and an improved braking system with slotted discs, more powerful pads and Braided lines offer. By doing without the rear seat, weight is also saved. If desired, new rims can give the Q767 the finishing touch. As an alternative to the Y-spoke 19-inch rims available ex works fig lightweight OZ HyperXT HLT wheels. They measure 9×20 inches for the front axle and 10,5×20 inches for the rear axle.
The tires are Michelin Pilot Sport tires in sizes 265/35 R20 and 295/35 R20, optionally also in the Cup version. Overall that shows Steeda Mustang Q767 Mach 1 Upgrade Packhow extensively the driveability and performance of the popular Mustang can be improved. With a wide range of customization options and additional options, customers can customize their Q767 according to their individual preferences and enjoy an even sportier driving experience.
