What Speed does

Speed Inc is a privately held automotive performance parts retailer and service installation provider headquartered at 801-803 Albion Ave, Schaumburg, Illinois. Founded in 1999, the company specializes in aftermarket performance parts and professional installation services for GM performance vehicles, primarily Chevrolet Corvette (C5–C8 generations including Z06, ZR1, and Stingray variants), Chevrolet Camaro (4th–6th generation including ZL1 and Z28), and Cadillac CTS-V (all generations), with secondary coverage of Pontiac G8, Holden Caprice, and Chevrolet SS Sedan. The company operates a dual-channel model combining a direct e-commerce storefront at speedinc.com with domestic and international shipping alongside a physical installation facility offering Dynojet tuning, street and mail-order remote tuning, LSX retrofit conversions, and custom fabrication.

Speed Inc's product catalog aggregates third-party performance brands (A&A Corvette, Borla, Corsa, AWE, AFE, JLT) across superchargers, exhaust systems, cold air intakes, headers, suspension components, and engine accessories, supplemented by its own branded merchandise line (Speed Inc Gear). Revenue is generated through direct-to-consumer parts sales, paid in-person installation and dyno tuning services, and remote mail-order tuning for self-installers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and no revenue, headcount, or ownership details are available in the source data.

Note: The aggregated source dataset also contains material about a separately capitalized Lightning Network and stablecoin payment infrastructure company also named "Speed". That entity appears to be distinct from Speed Inc — the firmographics (Schaumburg, IL; 1999; automotive performance parts) clearly identify Speed Inc — and the two companies have been conflated in the source aggregation. This analysis treats Speed Inc (automotive) as the subject.

Others

• Turn14 Distribution: Performance and aftermarket parts distributor to retailers and installers — comparable as an upstream/adjacent ecosystem participant that supplies many of the brands Speed Inc carries (and competes with via direct-to-consumer brands).

Direct peers

• Stage 3 Motorsports: Performance parts retailer focused primarily on 2010+ Mustang, Camaro and Corvette with installation services — overlaps directly with Speed Inc's GM performance catalog and is comparable in scale and channel mix.
• Concept One Customs: Performance wheels, suspension and aftermarket parts retailer serving import and domestic sports-car customers with comparable parts-plus-installation value proposition.
• Anderson Performance: Performance parts and composite components retailer focused on Camaro, Corvette and Mustang platforms — directly comparable given shared GM enthusiast fitment catalog.
• Late Model Restoration (LMR): Vehicle-platform-specific e-commerce retailer specializing in restoration and performance parts for Ford Mustang, F-150 and Camaro — direct peer to Speed Inc's format of organizing the catalog by enthusiast vehicle platform and offering installation/tuning support.
• AmericanMuscle (Turn5): Vehicle-platform-specific vertical retailer (Ford Mustang) with branded apparel, curated aftermarket catalog and content/community marketing — operates the same enthusiast-platform formula Speed Inc uses for Camaro and Corvette.
• Vivid Racing: Online performance parts retailer with in-house installation, tuning and fabrication services catering to sports car and import enthusiasts — closely comparable to Speed Inc's combination of multi-brand parts retail plus professional install and custom work.
• Lingenfelter Performance Engineering: Long-standing Corvette/Camaro-specific performance engineering firm offering supercharger packages, ECU tuning and branded parts — comparable to Speed Inc's GM-specific supercharger (A&A), Dynojet tuning and retrofit capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• Summit Racing Equipment: Largest generalist performance auto parts retailer and warehouse distributor in the U.S. — offers overlapping SKUs across exhaust, intake, supercharger and suspension but serves every vehicle platform rather than specializing in GM performance.

Emerging players

• Hellion Turbo: Specialist turbo/supercharger systems manufacturer for truck and muscle-car platforms — overlap is partial: Speed Inc sells supercharger systems (A&A) while Hellion designs and builds comparable powertrain adders, often distributed through similar channels.
