12-23-08:
The brand new state-of-the-art expansion of Steeda’s performance operations, is now open and operating! The all-new facility, situated on a vast 35 acre campus in Valdosta Georgia, will ultimately be the home of their engineering, manufacturing, vehicle modification, and distribution facilities. Considered by many who have seen it to be a new benchmark for the performance industry, Steeda says it is the ultimate performance facility in the business.
The cornerstone of this expansion is the all-new 100,000 sq. ft. facility that will take care of the engineering, manufacturing, and distribution side of their business. Following a formal groundbreaking on February 15, 2008, the building was constructed in record time.

Steeda says that having all of their facilities under one roof affords them the advantage of improved engineering and manufacturing process flows as well as quicker internal departmental interactions. The new campus houses the latest state-of-the-art CNC machines, engineering equipment, manufacturing tooling, distribution facilities, and offices.
Outdoors, to take care of the vehicle dynamic side of the business will be a comprehensive vehicle dynamic testing facility that will feature a challenging test track featuring a 1.2 mile road course, skid pad, slalom course and brake test area. The test track will have a variety of road surfaces to aid in the development and prove out process for future Steeda vehicles and parts in terms of performance, noise, vibration and harshness. The nearby drag strip, South Georgia Motorsports Park, is a new, world-class facility that will be utilized for additional extensive vehicle testing and product evaluation.
In addition, this expansion provides for an exciting opportunity for Steeda Autosports to partner with Georgia Tech and Valdosta Technical Institute to take our manufacturing and engineering processes as well. The new facility is a major milestone for Steeda who is poised to chart a strong future in the competitive Mustang high performance arena.
