There’s something special about a parking lot filled with Mustangs, performance cars, and the sound of horsepower echoing through the air. For years we’ve been bringing enthusiasts together with events that blend passion, performance, and people. From our annual VMP Performance Open House Car Show to the Cars and Coffee Volusia County gatherings, these events are a cornerstone of the performance community here in Central Florida.
The Annual VMP Car Show
Our flagship event is the VMP Performance Annual Car Show & Open House, a day where fans of Ford performance (and beyond) gather to celebrate horsepower in all its forms.
In 2023, our car show event drew such a strong turnout that it drew the attention of Steve Turner from Ford Muscle magazine – he highlighted his 5 favorite Mustangs from our show. The article featured the impact of our 20+ years serving Central Florida’s performance community. When a national publication showcases your show, you know you’re doing something right!
The 2024 show featured dyno pulls, vendor displays, and rows upon rows of incredible builds. From the dragstrip-ready Mustangs to daily-driven performance cars, this show is open to all makes and models, so there’s a little bit of everything for enthusiasts to enjoy.
The tradition carried on in 2025, where once again fans gathered at our 12 acre campus home base in Central Florida. The energy was high, the cars were unforgettable, and social media lit up with reels and posts capturing the excitement of the day.
More Than Just A Show
These events are about more than the horsepower numbers or the shine of the paint – it’s about building a sense of community. The car world can sometimes feel like it’s about who has the biggest supercharger kit or the highest dyno sheet, but at VMP events, it’s just as much about conversation, connection, and celebrating the shared passion for performance.
We also host Cars and Coffee events regularly – these mornings give enthusiasts a casual spot to grab a cup of coffee, check out some cool cars, and talk shop. All makes and models are welcome to participate, and the event is always free.
Why Enthusiasts Keep Coming Back
We plan to continue this show as an annual event on the Sunday after President’s Day. We’ll have hundreds of vehicles, plenty of food trucks, and all sorts of tuning exhibitions to keep you entertained. For performance fans, our annual show delivers on all fronts:
- Variety – From S550 Mustangs to Fox-bodies, GT500s, and even non-Ford builds, there’s always something new to check out.
- Expertise – Our expert team is always on hand, sharing knowledge and showcasing what’s possible with the right parts and tuning upgrades.
- Community – We foster a relaxed, inclusive vibe makes it easy for both seasoned racers and first-time attendees to feel at home.
The Future Of The VMP Performance Annual Car Show
The success of our past shows plus the coverage from outlets like Ford Muscle and Street Muscle Magazine, combined with the ever-growing crowds at Cars and Coffee prove one thing: performance enthusiasts love an opportunity to come together. Gathering to showcase cars and strengthen the performance community one meet at a time.
“We will continue to do this show every year on this date, and just try to make it a great time for everybody.”
