Our 2011 Project car has been around for quite some time now. It was hard to miss with the bright orange wheels and decals. Over the past few months there has been talk going on in the dark corners of some of our offices about how our 2011 777 Project Car needed an update; however, the opportunity and time to revamp this project never presented itself. That was until the Project 777 said enough with the hoonage and racing!
Our 2011 Mustang GT has seen a rough life that all Stangs dream about! It has been involved in just about every burnout we have ever done (there is plenty of video and parking lot evidence to prove it!) and it has seen multiple road race sessions. Some of these race sessions have gone on for multiple days with little to no break – expect for when we slept.

There will be plenty more racing, hoonage and upgrades to come!!

You can follow along with the whole overhaul here – SVE Pace Car. The first step in this restoration project was to get a new engine. We ... more

This 5.0L 4V motor is essentially a Boss 302 crate engine on steroids. It features just about every Ford Racing engine compone... more
Once the new Aluminator XS Engine was installed in the SVE Pace Car, we immediately turned our focus toward a new look. The old look had served its purpose but had become “played out” to a certain degree. We went back and forth with ideas for what felt like days. Finally we settled on the 1979 Pace Car tribute look.

The Mid America Shelby Meet celebrated their 40th anniversary this year; thus, making it a honor to have so many of our vehicles in their Latemodel Race. This year we entered our SVE Pace Car, the owners 2013 Shelby GT500 and Project Coyote Swap into the race. We decided to slap a few GoPro cameras on the SVE Pace Car... more
The SVE Pace Car and Project Blue Collar made the trip to Mustang Week 2014. The SVE Pace Car made the 1,200+ mile drive to Myrtle Beach, SC while Project Blue Collar road in style in the trailer. Both were a huge hit and a crowd favorite at this year’s show. The SVE Pace Car showed up in style with a new set of SVE Se... more
