At the 2009 SEMA Show, Vaughn Gittin Jr. wowed us with his RTR-C Ford Mustang. With a full carbon fibre body, supercharged V8 producing 550 horsepower and a custom interior, it was easily one of the coolest modern pony cars we had ever seen. The only problem was that to buy one of your own, you'd need a six-figure sum burning a hole in your "fun money" account. That's a lot of cash for any car, let alone a Ford Mustang. The solution is the Mustang RTR, a much cheaper version of the RTR-C that's actually fairly affordable for the average sports car buyer.

The question you might be asking, though, is whether there is room in the automotive marketplace for yet another specialty Mustang. It seems a new variation comes across our desks at least once a week, and there are already endless aftermarket options for those wishing to build their own personalized pony car. Plus, many of those same Mustangs have well-established names like Shelby, Saleen and Roush emblazoned on their sides, all of whom are legends in the storied history of motorsports (and the Ford Mustang in particular).

Even so, Gittin is hoping to bring something new to the table. As a series champion and one of the most popular figures in Formula Drift, he believes that he can offer something different to a new generation of car enthusiasts. When Gitten first began competing with a Ford Mustang, he felt a disconnect between the car's aftermarket and the crowds of fans who were attending drifting events. "Since I fell in love with being behind the wheel of a Mustang in 2005, I noticed that most of the aftermarket was offering parts that were so traditional and, for the most part, not really my style – nor most of my generation's style" he told Autoblog. "I wanted to introduce something fresh and aggressive to the market that would engage a new generation of Mustang owner and appeal to traditional Mustang enthusiasts at the same time." That vision became a reality at SEMA in 2009 with the debut of his RTR-C and RTR Mustang.

Like the car/rims stripes nope

ChadStang

I like it. I've seen the wheels somewhere, maybe American muscle

roddy

My thoughts exactly. Maybe lose the spoiler as well ( I'd have to see a rear or 3/4 rear shot to be sure).

Love everything about it!!

I'm with you guys, the stripe package does nothing for the car. Also, all that black plastic all the way around the bottom reminds me of one of those bumper cars you see are fairs..the ones with the pole sticking out the top to contact the electric grid above, while you zoom around bumping everyone else.

Don't mind the side stripe TOO much, but that hood stripe looks really out of place.

SNAKEBITE

^^^I can agree with that

Red Pony

Don't like the hood stripe much either....the side stripe makes me think Charger.

So what's the purpose to the struts/brackets on the chin spoiler?

All the black plastic around the bottom of the car, minus the front chin spoiler is stock Mustang GT pieces. What Vaughn Gittin Jr. adds is the front chin spoiler, with the splitter, and struts supports up front, on the sides he adds a side splitter to the lower portion of the "stock" side skirts (which you can't really tell that they are their unless you are up close), and adds a diffuser to the lower portion of the rear "stock" lower black plastic on the rear bumper.The rear spoiler is similar in design to the GT500, but is made of aluminum.
I believe all these pieces were designed with his drifting background.
The stripes are a little over done, but i will take one in any day LOL!
