2013 Ford Mustang RTR Monster Energy, It’s not hard to come to grips with the fact that we’re all envious of Vaughn Gittin Jr. Not only is the man considered one of the best race car drivers in the world, but he’s also a master drifter of the highest order. Just in time for the 2012 Formula Drift season opener Vaughn Gittin Jr. reveals his new race car, the 2013 Ford Mustang RTR Monster Energy Falken Tire Ford Mustang powered by an 800 horsepower 6.7-liter V8. The 410-cubic-inch racing engine was built by Ford Racing and Roush Yates who as many of you know have ties to NASCAR. Vaughn decided to go with this new racing engine after having trouble keeping pace with teammate Justin Pawlak who also uses this engine and finished second in points last year.

Gittin Jr is looking at the 2012 season as the perfect bounce-back year, where he is expected to challenge for the championship only two years removed from his last title reign. With an 800-horsepower 2013 Ford Mustang RTR Monster Energy by his side, we don’t expect anything less from the man that has made his name in the world of auto drifting.
