Vaughn Gitten RTR Mustang






This year at SEMA Vaughn Gitten released his RTR mustang performance package. The new mustang has taken many different shapes, and Vaughn's version is no exception. The Mustang RTR will be available in multiple color combinations at select Ford dealerships nationwide beginning in February of 2010. This package will first be available with the 2010 Ford Mustang GT; however, a V6 version will be soon to follow. Performance upgrades include a Ford Racing calibration with K&N high-flow air filter (+9HP), Falken FK452 performance tires, Ford Racing damper kit with 1.5 inch lowering springs, Baer drilled and slotted rotors, and extremely throaty mufflers that leave no doubt that the Mustang RTR is Ready to Rock.

The Mustang RTR includes aggressive exterior elements that offer OEM quality and fit. These exclusive elements include an RTR rear diffuser, front splitter, aluminum rear spoiler, RTR side and rear emblems, as well as a distinctive RTR vinyl scheme. The vehicle also features a tasteful chin spoiler and sleek side splitters. The aggressive stance of this car is defined by the 19x9.5 Mustang RTR wheels, that are made by the popular VMR wheel brand. The interior of this visually-stimulating vehicle consists of RTR-specific floor mats, shift knob, emblems. Each Mustang RTR owner will become a part of the exclusive RTR registry and will receive a numbered badge with their new machine.

This thing is gorgeous and truly for the automotive enthusiast. I believe this package blends the lines between Mustang enthusiast and automotive enthusiast that I have seen in the past.

This year Julis and I went to the SEMA show in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was a short trip as we flew in Tuesday morning and flew out Wednesday night. However, it was a great trip. Met a lot of great people, and saw some amazing...and not so amazing, cars :D.

This year seemed to be dominated by the Nissan GTR and new Chevy Camaro. However, there were all types of cars including Hyundai Genesis, various BMW, Mercedes, Lambo, and many more. I will let the pictures do most of the talking!

7 series seem to be rather popular this year, most of them blinged out :cool:


325/25/30 tires on a Hummer. When I first saw it we thought it was a 245 wide, but the crazy diameter lead to an optical illusion.



Crazy drop-top Lexus we found at the Lexus booth...right near the LF-A


Mercedes on Giovanna wheels and Fabulous (the brand) body kit...that apparently this man really liked :lol:


Premiere 4509 is a new aero line from the guys at Veilside. They had this Aston Martin on display, that was simply gorgeous



Many slammed pickups outside at the show. I really liked this one



Very classic looking race inspired Civic on Advan RG2 wheels
