<div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><small>2011 Ford Mustang GT RTR by Vaughn Gittin Jr. - Click above for high-res image gallery </small></strong></em></div>
<br />
Vaughn Gittin Jr. is intimately familiar with extracting every last bit of performance from the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/mustang">Ford Mustang</a>, so it's no surprise the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford/">FoMoCo</a> has tapped the Formula Drifting ace to create a limited edition 'Stang for the 2011 model year.<br />
<br />
Based on the new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/29/2011-ford-mustang-gt-first-drive/">5.0-liter V8 Mustang GT</a>, the RTR package boasts a comprehensive list of upgrades, including new springs and shocks that drop the Mustang 1.5 inches over specially designed 19-inch RTR wheels each wrapped in Falken FK452 high-performance rubber. A larger rear sway bar aids rotation and cross-drilled and slotted rotors should keep things cool when hauling the massive coupe to a halt. Under the hood, the only major modification is a K&N high-flow air filter, but combined with a Ford Racing ECU tune and a set of new mufflers, the breathing mods are good for an extra nine horsepower, netting a total of 421 ponies.<br />
<br />
On the outside, the RTR benefits from a front splitter, aluminum spoiler and a graphics package, while the interior gets a smatter of badges on the doors, shifter and floormats. The whole package will set you back $7,895 and Ford plans to offer a V6 version later this year. Head over to <a href="http://mustangrtr.com">MustangRTR.com</a> for more details, and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/11/vaughn-gittin-jr-rtr-package-available-for-2011-ford-mustang-w/#continued">make the jump</a> for a video and the complete press release.<br />
