Introduction: Team SSP is the hottest Import Modified Car Club in the Tampa Bay area! Over the last several years, Team SSP has focused its efforts on recruiting dedicated members with the highest quality vehicles. All members must meet strict requirements which include a modifications list, minimum required show appearances and a team vote for entry. While for most this is a hobby it is something Team SSP feels very passionately about. They constantly strive for perfection! They always make a strong appearance at every Car Show/Racing event. As a team, they are devoted to the growth and promotion of the sport and will always support each other and their sponsors who aid them in their constant pursuit of excellence. With over 13 members and many more hopeful prospects, Team SSP is the team to be in!

The highest quality cars…the most amazing models…Team SSP is where to be!

Club / Team History: Our family started as 2 in the year 2002.  Since them we continue to grow with better quality rides.  We were not concerned with the numbers but we are with the quality of the car and the owner.  When applying to be a part of Team SSP you must have a quality ride however you’re personality and your attitude means more.  If your attitude sucks I don’t care how tricked out your ride is you wont be a part of our family.  We all look out for each other and that is what means the most to me.  We are now 8 strong.  As a team we wouldn’t have made it to where we are at now.
