Team Need for Speed RTR-X Mustang - Click above for high-res image gallery
Vaughn Gittin Jr. is mostly known for his ability to pilot Ford Mustangs in a sideways - he currently leads the points race in the 2010 Formula Drift season - but over the last year the Maryland native has also been busy launching his own car brand, RTR, beginning with last year's show at SEMA (http://www.autoblog.com/category/sema/) with the debut of the RTR-C Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/04/sema-2009-vaughn-gittins-all-carbon-fiber-rtr-c-mustang/).
Not one to rest on his laurels, Gittin will be following up the RTR-C with perhaps something even more impressive. In a collaboration with Team Need for Speed, the drifter/car builder will unveil another Mustang at the 2010 SEMA show dubbed the RTR-X. Based on a 1969 Mustang using a Dynacorn replacement body shell, the RTR-X will feature the 5.0-liter V8 from the 2011 Mustang GT and a one-off sub-frame from Art Morrison. You can follow the progress of the build (http://speedhunters.com/archive/2010/05/21/builds-gt-gt-rtr-x-progress-part-one.aspx) until its debut at SEMA in November and even vote on the car's livery (http://speedhunters.com/archive/2010/05/24/user-ranking-gt-gt-vote-the-rtr-x-livery.aspx) over at SpeedHunters. Hit up the gallery below to see Gittin's upcoming creation in more detail.
