History
Following its initial offerings, the firm expanded its product range to include suspension systems tailored for the Camaro and Cadillac ATS. The company also developed exhaust headers engineered specifically for the Corvette and Camaro models. Under Aaron Pfadt's direction and through the newly created Advanced Control Engineering branch, Pfadt Race Engineering established a collaboration with Advanced Flow Engineering (AFE), which is located in Corona, California.[2]
Awards
In 2011, Pfadt Race Engineering earned the #16 position on the Utah 100 list, recognizing the fastest expanding businesses as compiled by the Mountain West Capital Network.[3] The following year, in 2012, the company was ranked #59 on the same list.[4]
Partnerships
Originally, the company concentrated on creating suspension parts specifically for the C5 and C6 Chevrolet Corvette models. Subsequently, its product range was broadened to encompass components for the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
In 2010, a collaboration between Aaron Pfadt and Johnny O'Connell resulted in the launch of a new suspension line for the Corvette, featuring O'Connell’s endorsement and design contributions.
After being acquired by Advanced Flow Engineering, Pfadt Race Engineering introduced suspension products manufactured in Corona, California, designed to fit BMW vehicles. Additionally, the company rolled out a suspension package developed for Ford Mustang models.
Transition to AFE
The company, under its new branding, commenced operations in August 2014 and began distributing products. Post-transition, it expanded its lineup with fresh offerings tailored for both BMW and Mustang vehicles.
