As you've probably heard, last night our friend Vaughn Gittin Jr. held a big shindig at Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory in LA to officially debut his new sponsor and his 2011 competition car. With Monster Energy Drink now onboard as a sponsor, JR has left the familiar blue and teal behind.
And in it's place, a new livery incorporating the iconic Falken scallops with the signature colors of Monster. Pretty cool eh?
JR and pops pose for a few pictures after unveiling the new car.
The lighting and crowds weren't ideal for checking out the Brostang in detail, but we thought the new vents on the rear were pretty interesting.
Can't wait to see the new car in action tomorrow in Long Beach.
Congrats to JR and everyone involved with this project!

saw it coming!!!
Congrats Jr!!!!
O Nice : ]
Hammer down Vaughn!
Those vents probably let out more smoke! Cool brostang! Runnin' the new 5.0L DOHC ?
Great looking car . . . except needs more low!!
Now it's awesome car!
A WELL ARRIVED CHANGE, AWESOME SPONSOR, LOVE THE NEW LIVERY. CONGRATS JR, GOOD LUCK TOMORROW . id like it to lose the grill lights though, but theyre fine
Cool but it is in desprate need to be lower!!alot lower!
I like new Monster energy livery
The stock Mustang utilizes a rear solid axle.
Last year, if my memory serves me right JR's Mustang sported Tein SR coilovers with IRS conversion....despite all the debates that went on regarding the obsolete-archaic design....JR kept stating that the solid rear axle is not that bad.....yet he sported a IRS swap.....
.....and then there is all that carbon.....go figure.....
i think the rad is in teh back
i might be mistaken but check the previous post on it.
looks great
agreed on the stance tho
sick car!
so he dropped falk for monster? i hate the people that come with monster but that shit looks sick
The car looks amazing Vaughn, it's always really great to see grassroots guys like you work their way up! Congratulations mate
this needs to be in a racing series not dumb drifting
jb do you NOT see the Falken stickers all over the car? And it still supports the basic Falken scheme just different colors.
Badassery. For some reason, he looks drunk in that pic.
It's due to 'all that carbon' and cutting a lot of sheet metal away on the chassis that this thing weighs what most 240sx's do.
I was waiting for the day when the rear trunk venting got more extreme to increase the smoke screens. I pity the foo who has to follow this machine and driver!
I wonder how long it will be before teams start doing more complex aero ducting and diffusers DTM style to pump the smoke directly out the back in one concentrated stream.
As JR says - Just stay up on his door where you're supposed to be and you'll be able to see no problem. Easy!
@ Alex
There was no IRS swap on his old 'stang. I'm not sure one would even fit. Possibly one from an Aussie Falcon, but I'm not certain.
Monster finally enter FD, NICE.. can wait to see it in action.
What size are the tires?
What an ugly car!
JR has to like HRE rims,but truly they have amazing products.
I like the new idea with falken colours,something new is always nice to look at:)
i was hoping dc was going to hit up the drift scene as well as rally. but still really stoked for that team.
Ken Blockitized......Looks cool I guess. Just hope that it stays at the competitions and I don't see it drifting around an abandoned pier with acid induced editing and lame stunts.
Alex - Your memory serves you wrong. JR has always run solid rear axles in his Mustang drift machines.
jb - Look at the second and very last picture. Doesn't look like he dropped Falken Tire?
Car looks great Vaughn. The ASD guys are numero uno when it comes to chassis prep and build. Fact.
I'm actually looking forward to a gymkhana 3, featuring the Block Fiesta and the Gitten Mustang, might make for a good shoot.
Ready 2 ROCK baby
Sweet now I can paint it in Forza 3
Is there no ASD logo's on the car?
Thanks everyone. I am simply ecstatic about everything and appreciate the support!!
@Alex- sorry bro! Wrong again. I never had an IRS in a Mustang. Nice stab though.
I absolutely did not Leave Falken. Monster Energy is a new partner to our program!
Thanks again! I cannot wait to hit the track tomorrow!
@XPSMcLaren:
You know that it's bound to happen....these days kids like fashy colors and cool cars.....
F3INT hit the nail on the head......just wait.....just wait....
Nice ride! I thought it would be a little different, but looks great rocking the exposed carbon fiber!
Good luck JR!!!
looks better with the falken scheme but ive always thought hre wheels (all of them) look like dook
Monster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fock that drink gets me pumped. Drink 1 in the morning, 2 in the noon and 1 at noon. And down a couple shots before I go and do some drifts! Wink wink. Congrats. Looks like one wild ride coming right up!
In my opinion the Mustang is still the best looking modern muscle out there.
Rear converted Radiator....
so fucking bro.
Badass
Now that's cool!!
Loving it. Completely. Good luck JR!
=D
kinda of nice in an ugly likeable way...
livery could be a lot better but I'm sure the car is going to be killer on track.
LMAO this car looks like a DAKAR RALLY car, with that kinda ride height and a paint job like that, also mustang head lights remind me of rally car headlights hehe.. but this car puts in work! performance is great, i dont really feel the overall presence of the car visually. like sum1 said.. NEEDS MORE LOW!
i love watching alex fail.
VA represent! JR, when will you be swinging through the hampton roads area?
The interior means business!! (saw it on autoblog.com) The exterior not so much...but it will all look good sideways at 100mph!
Stunning!
Way to try and be like mike essa and matt powers on the birght colored wheels....
