SEMA Report States Almost Half of Modern Muscle Cars are Modified

As modern muscle cars take bigger foot-holds in the modification industry every day, it's no surprise that a recent SEMA report confirms what we already believed. According to SEMA’s new “Modern Muscle Car Accessorizor Report,” 44% of modern muscle car owners have accessorized their cars. The report also details some other interesting statistics about modern muscle car owners.

Below is the release from SEMA:

Did you know that 44% of modern musclecar owners have accessorized their cars?

Drivers of ’10-and-newer Mustangs, Camaros and Challengers are passionate about their vehicles:

  • 68% say their car is their life.
  • 84% love working on their car.

It may surprise some people, but most (58%) say they prefer to buy parts in person, and 75% of their upgrade parts are bought in-store.

With three-fourths (76%) of these owners saying they are always looking for their next modification, this segment represents a huge opportunity for repeat business and to build long-term relationships with your customers.
