If you thought this year’s Mustang presence at The SEMA Show might be lacking because the S550 debuted last year, you’d be sadly mistaken. Ford is pulling out all the stops with its roster of modified Blue Oval machines on display at this year’s aftermarket extravaganza. In fact, the company is supporting a contingent of eight modded Mustangs for this year’s show, and most of them are EcoBoost powered.

“A diverse collection of eight Mustangs gallop their way into the SEMA show this year,” says Ford. “Downsizing is the popular option for the show as a majority of the Mustangs on the Ford stand will feature modified versions of the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine all creating substantial power with one dyno-shredding example coming in at 900 horsepower! ”

Check out a preview of the eight hot Mustangs right here…
