Vaughn Gittin Jr Goes Sideways On Ice In His 2015 Mustang RTR

Thank you Ken Block for showing us what a great drifting machine lies in the Ford Mustang. And thank you Vaughn Gittin Jr for backing that up with this video.

They are both professional drivers with tons of skills behind the wheel, even though the disciplines they excel at are not quite similar. But as of recently, both have one thing - no, make that two things - in common. The first is drifting, and the second one is the Ford Mustang.

Let’s start with similarity number one. Ken Block is notorious for his Gymkhana series while Vaughn Gittin Jr is one best drivers competing in Formula Drift. So believe us when we tell you that these guys were born for tire-shredding, regardless if the car they use is a Ford Fiesta ST, a Hoonicorn Mustang or a Mustang RTR.

As a matter of fact, we’re here to meet the latter but this is no ordinary rendezvous. Vaughn Gittin wanted to show off his new 2015 Mustang RTR so he came up with a teaser video which shows the professional drifter doing what he does best... on ice. There’s also some slo-mo action included, which should spice things nicely.

By the way, he is the man that helped Ken Block pump all that power into the Hoonicorn’s engine, so it goes without saying that the guy knows what he’s doing. He does seem to go from one extreme to another from time to time, after in 2013 he drifted his Mustang through face melting, tire burning, earth exploding obstacles. In other words, fire. Lots of it.
