<br />
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 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/sema/">SEMA</a> with the debut of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/04/sema-2009-vaughn-gittins-all-carbon-fiber-rtr-c-mustang/">RTR-C Mustang</a>. <br />
<br />
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 <a href="http://speedhunters.com/archive/2010/05/21/builds-gt-gt-rtr-x-progress-part-one.aspx">progress of the build</a> until its debut at SEMA in November and even <a href="http://speedhunters.com/archive/2010/05/24/user-ranking-gt-gt-vote-the-rtr-x-livery.aspx">vote on the car's livery</a> over at SpeedHunters.
