Believe it or not, SVT, the Ford sub-brand closely associated with performance upgrades for the Mustang, among other cars, is turning 20. And what better way to celebrate a 20th anniversary than with a cruise, a Woodward Dream Cruise to be exact.

In two days’ time, the Blue Oval’s performance brand will be showing a special display in Mustang Alley at this year’s Woodward Dream Cruise muscle car and classic car event.

The historic cruise will hold host to a number of SVT branded Mustangs, while other automotive attendees will include the Focus ST, the Ford Raptor Pickup, multiple Ford GT’s, the original Ford F-150 Lightening, and over 800 classic Mustangs.

Ford added that Formula Drift pro Vaughn Gittin Jr. will make a celebrity guest appearance and perform in what they are calling a “Burn out Box” for attendees to enjoy some good ‘ol fashion tire smoking hoonery.

Fans will also have the opportunity to win a specially-prepped 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca (pictured above) with the purchase of a raffle ticket. All proceeds with benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society in Michigan.

The Woodward Dream Cruise begins August 17 along Woodward Avenue in Metropolitan Detroit.
