2010 Ford Mustang GT Sets Unofficial World Drift Record At 6285 Ft.
 
Quote:

aughn Gittin Jr. likes to drift Mustangs, doing it for a living on the pro-drift circuit. Now he's looking to set the unofficial world record longest drift in a nearly stock 2010 Ford Mustang.

Maligned for its old-timey solid rear axle setup, the Mustang remains a favorite of oversteering hoons like Vaughn, and with 315 HP it's only a throttle blip away from tail-out super-happy-fun-time. This particular run for 0-60 magazine happened at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and trumped the previous 4137 foot record with a solid 6285 feet of driftage. The Guinness Book of World Records hasn't yet certified the attempt, but the video evidence should make the claim Bullitt-proof (hehe). Hopefully this kind of thing doesn't become the next measuring stick of performance like the Nurburgring or quarter mile times, as only tire manufacturers would be the true winners in such stunts.

He chastises the previous record holder for going around in a big circle, but then he does the exact same thing. :confused:

Either way it looked cool. I would've liked to see what the tires looked like after all that.

LiquidZ 03-03-2009 12:08 PM

I love Mustangs.

par4bmw 03-03-2009 12:32 PM

Pretty cool but I agree that it is a lame way to measure the longest drift.

I would not have cut away on some of the transitions either since it lessens the validation of authenticity.

MightyBobo 03-04-2009 09:38 AM

Imagine that - 300+ HP with skinny *** crappy tires tends to lead to traction loss.

Never mind that drifting is quite possibly the lamest "sport" ever...its as bad as Hot Import Nights with Nopi.

Maybe I should change my board name to Negative Nancy.

“When you throw cars at walls at 90 mph they don’t always go the way we want them to,” said Vaughn Gittin, Jr. after hitting the wall at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in his 2010 Ford Mustang. more on Formula Drift 2010 Falken Ford Mustang Wrecked and Repaired at Las Vegas Motor Speedway

Mustang has a great features that will add more personal appeal, including the HID, 18-inch wheels on the v-6 coupe and lighting system. The american style has new improved standard side air bags..

Wow, they finally found something useful for that chassis.

fuct 10-22-2009 10:28 AM

i like the color on the abomination above!

FastJew 10-25-2009 08:52 PM

Yep, that is pretty much all those are good for! Fun, but not exactly something they should be proud of. Then again probably more interesting than the longest finger nails in the world.

Cjanik 10-26-2009 08:06 AM

Im disapointed, i thought they would go like 140mph and then go into a drift from there and slide until they couldnt slide anymore.

a circle is kinda dumb.

Zerafian 10-27-2009 04:02 PM

I like in the preview before he drifts it shows him acting like a dumb douchbag right next to the interstate.."Hi there, heres a disclaimer saying dont respect me." He just seems like an ordinary red neck mustang owner now, that can drive.

World championship drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr. has introduced a new generation of Mustang to the world with the Mustang RTR. The extremely limited-production Mustang RTR-C puts still more muscle behind the already incredible 2010 Ford Mustang GT. Balancing 550 tire-shredding American horsepower with new-generation design influences, Vaughn has incorporated state-of-the-art technology with first-rate carbon fiber body construction to make the Mustang RTR-C one incredible-looking, raw performance machine.

The front end is perfect the wheels and stance are perfect, I even dig the graphics. However that wing on the back would be ripped off and left on the show room floor! there are much nicer spoilers out there that fit the form of this car. I want to try those wheels on my mustang what do yall think?

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it still remains a pig

what part of it do you consider a pig? Performance wise? or Looks wise?

j.arnaldo 10-28-2009 01:20 PM

CR magazine picked it as the best Sports car in their class, last April (the Auto Issue of CR). I know, I know, it's debatable. I'm just sharing the info'. If I got me a Z, it's 'cause I prefer her; although, they're two different categories altogether.

CrownR426 10-28-2009 05:17 PM

Wow That looks very nice, great find Red!
I really like that performance bump the RTR got and looks fantastic.
Idk about the rear end but the front looks amazing!

speedoflife 10-28-2009 07:14 PM

The previous record holder did actual "donuts." As in with the front wheels remaining basically stationary... At least this is better than that.

j.arnaldo 10-30-2009 01:12 PM

If, and only IF, I ever get me a U.S.-make Sports car, it would definitely be a Mustang. The Camaro already had a recall for some electrical system part---can't remember what it is. BTW!, I saw the new Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione...Just $230,000!!! A s-w-e-e-t but way-too-expensive Sports ride! It's possibly THE most beautiful Sports car I've seen.

The 2010 GT has received thousands of positive feed backs out there. it really makes a difference in the automotive industry. From the picture above, i can say this is not just an ordinary vehicle or whatsoever that can be compared to it. Of course the exterior is the main highlights. it possessed shinny yet pleasing to the eyes exterior design.

The performance also stood out amongst other models. That's basically the definition of 2010GT...

They see me trolling
