Actually Vaughn Gittin Jr. is well-known drift pilot. He loves to drive Ford Mustangs in a sideways, but he also started his own car brand – RTR. The debut was at last year’s SEMA with RTR-C Mustang.

Now, with Team Need for Speed, the drifter/car builder is going to build another Pony at 2010 SEMA – The RTR-X version. Some things we know: it’s going to be based on a 69′ Stang, using a Dynacorn replacement body shell, the 5.0-liter V8 from the 2011 Mustang GT and a one-off sub-frame from Art Morrison. Don’t forget to check the progress of the build until its debut at SEMA in November at SpeedHunters.

RTR-X Mustang

 

Like the production 2011 Mustang, Vaughn’s new ride features several new upgrades. The chassis and suspension have been updated using the knowledge gained from the 2009 season, and the looks have been tweaked to match Gitton’s ponycar for the street, the RTR-C Mustang. Falken Tire remains as a sponsor and has provided their brand new RT-615K tires to be sacrificed on track, and a version of Ford Racing’s 4.6-liter supercharged V8 is still under the hood.
