CAR FEATURE>> MUSTANG RTR: FULLY UNLEASHED
Filed under: , , , , , , ,  
Speedhunters
Like a proud father, I am very happy to introduce a new generation of the Ford Mustang - the Mustang RTR. I have dreamt this vision in my head for years; unfortunately, it has taken so much time for me to find the right people to help take the vision from my head to paper, then to the actual prototype phase that you see here. It sounds a lot easier then it really is - trust me! I fell in love with the Mustang in late 2004 and, as most of you know, we have been inseparable since. The Ford Mustang...

NEW CARS>> MUSTANG RTR-C: GET SERIOUS!
Filed under: , , , , , ,  
Speedhunters
Here is the sneak peak I promised you all. This is the first-ever public picture of the extremely limited production Mustang RTR-C, the halo of the RTR brand. It is a one-hundred percent dry carbon Mustang for the street, which features in-car adjustable shocks, 550 horsepower, and carbon fiber HRE wheels. Only ten of these cars will be made. The car will first be seen at the SEMA Show this year where it will be on display at the Ford booth all week. I will do a feature on the car here on Speedhunters...

NEW CARS: MUSTANG RTR-C>> FINAL TEASE
Filed under: , , , ,  
Speedhunters
The RTR-C was the inspiration to create the Mustang RTR, which is basically a toned-down version that offers similar looks without the carbon or the serious performance gains. The reason I chose Autosport Dynamics (ASD) in Charlotte, NC to build the RTR-C is due to their attention to detail and complete understanding of my vision. I wanted a Mustang that was simply untouchable and was a work of art; all the way from the carbon fiber HRE CF40's, to the way that the weave of the carbon lines up...

DRIVERS BLOG: VAUGHN GITTIN JR>> SOAPBOX DERBY ANYONE?
Filed under: , , ,  
Speedhunters
I know this is a bit out of the "norm" for the Speedhunters site, but I thought it was too cool not to share! Some friends of mine over at Motorsports Management International - my management firm - have been building an over the top ¼-scale replica of the first NASCAR championship car from 1948. The team name, Parks Novelty Machine, is named after the original car owner, Raymond Parks, and the sponsor of this 1939 Ford V-8 modified stock car. They started with some foam! After multiple...

EVENT>>TEAM FALKEN ROLLS THE DICE IN VEGAS
Filed under: , , , , , ,  
Speedhunters
At Formula D New Jersey last month, Team Falken had their most successful drift event of all time. Lead by event winner Darren McNamara, Falken drivers occupied all three spots on the podium. It was a big moment for the Falken drift organization, but the celebration couldn't go on forever. Just after the cars returned to their respective homes in Southern California and North Carolina, it was time to prepare for Formula D round four in Las Vegas. Last Thursday the pair of Falken transporters rolled across the desert and into the blazing confines of Las Vegas Motor Speedway - loaded with drift cars, spare parts, and enough Azenis rubber to last through an entire weekend of destruction....
