SVT Superfest 2011!!!

Last Saturday, some members of the team showed the car off at the SVT Superfest, which was held at Virginia International Raceway(VIR) amongst hundreds of other Ford vehicles. Our Mustang turned heads and received multiple looks of confusion and curiosity from many of the visitors.
Participants from many states flocked to VIR for the SVT Superfest to show off their cars, check out other great cars, and race their vehicles on the VIR track. Our team participated mainly in the car show on Saturday to spread the message about our project. The team answered numerous questions about the car while checking out other cars at the show. A little after lunch, Mr. Butler drove the car in two parade laps around the track just to have fun and enjoy the car. He got the Mustang up to 75 mph, which is the fastest the car has gone so far, while testing the handling and suspension in a road setting.
