The Mustang use to be about the young guy. A used first car, maybe a high school graduation present, but typically a younger audience. While the new Mustang has a very sporty 412 HP 5.0 under the hood, it still feels big in a way, and seems to be attracting an older crowd – especially when compared to the fox body era. When looking at the upgraded Mustangs like the GT500, and it’s a 50-year-olds demographic. Under the RTR brand, Classic Design Concepts (CDC) and Formula Drift champion Vaughn Gittin Jr. are trying to change that stereotype.
If you have ever seen a story on the RTR Mustang here, it probably was accompanied by a photo of it sideways, and drifting being the youngest motorsport, it is for a reason they are targeting it this way. Don’t get us wrong though, it for anyone that wants a clean, yet subtle upgrade package that is affordable, this might be your ticket. Affordable by how much though? CDC says the package will run a tick under $10,000 installed. This means you could walk away with an RTR Mustang for under $40k…with a little showroom haggling.
What does the package come with, you say? To start with the performance mods to the engine, includes Ford Racing Performance mufflers, K&N air filter, and a tune. CDC states these gains are good for 16 HP and 7 lb/ft of torque. For suspension and brakes, there is an option for either 1 or 1.5-inch Ford Racing lowering springs, 19-inch RTR wheels with staggered fitment Falken FK452 tires, as well as cross drilled and slotted rotors.
The appearance package starts with a hood graphic plus side stripes that seamlessly wrap around and conjoin to the trick-looking lightweight aluminum rear spoiler. The ABS body enhancements include a front chin spoiler with splitter, side splitters, and rear diffuser. On the inside there is RTR gauge accents, badges, shift knob, and floor mats. Each package comes with a number passenger side dash plaque that is also signed by Gittin.
If you have a few extra dollars to spare when looking to buy a new Mustang, the RTR package might be right up your alley to fill the need to look different.
