Cool Hanging with Vaughn Gitten Jr

Today Vaughn was in Detroit so we met up as I wanted to thank him in person for hooking my up my RTR wheels (as of right now still the only set in private hands) and for a few other things the RTR guys have done for me, as well as having him sign my strut tower brace along with those that already have (Dave Pericak (Mustang Chief Engineer), Ralph Arning (Mustang Program Manager) Dean Martin (Koni Challnge Champion 2009 GS, Operations manager Rehagen Racing).

More pictures to come, my buddy who took the pictures will send me more tommorow and I will update the original post.

Now...I find it a little funny that you're over there picking on the guys who are whining about their cars being late...when you got yours right on time, got it modded within days (minutes) and get to hang with VGJr. Come on mannnnn!

this isnt the right place to discuss this.

The truth is the truth, my situation (which is not that of a general consumer) has nothing to do with the points discussed in that thread.

OK, you're an 'insider'.

You're gloating about all the perks that have come your way on a forum where everyone is obsessing about WHERE'S MY CAR, AND WHY NO INFORMATION!!!???

Let me guess....you're in Ford Public Relations.

Awesome stuff! Now your strut brace is complete. That thing is already a collectible.

Vaughn's been doing pretty good this year too!

Hey Shaun, just saw the article on AB about the official RTR release (although they used pics of the 2010 show cars!) and it mentioned a V6 RTR Package coming later this year. Any word on this? Will they be doing a similar front splitter?

Shaun, i dont know any of what others speak of, But hanging with Vaughn Gitten Jr is so cool. We meet him on the MAA tour through Dallas to Shreveport. We almost got into an accident when an 18 wheeler pulled out in front of use doing abour 80. He pulled up and asked if we were alright, then grabbed a lower gear and took off. Cool dude!
Nice ride you got, and great wheels.

yes on the splitter. I am not sure of the ETA of the V6 package, I will ask John the next time I talk to him (if I remember)
