11:00 That focus / fiesta is sick!
I’m so eager to finally see the OG falken tire mustang coming back to life for lots of FUN!!! Irwindale is gonna be your round! Can’t freakin wait!!!!!!!!!!!
This is actually crazy to see how far you have come Vaughn truly truly inspiring
So happy for yourself, James Deane and the whole RTR team including the ripper who is Mr Ben Hobson !! To have 2 champions in 2 seasons shows the level you have set and the whole team have lived upto it. So proud of yourself and the team and I'm so looking forward to watch that final round and seeing James claim another title and becoming the first ever 4 time FD champion 🏆 RTR are at such a high level and it's so damn well deserved 💯👏
Can not wait to see that old car run again. This will be so cool ( to compare ) you sir made me buy one ( and you sir was 1st person I seen drift ) in a s13 in E-town parking lot action thats how far back...
This is a blast from the past if i ever seen one...
8:40 Brother , As soon as I seen that the memories started flowing , thats what you drove when I started following you.
Same! I saw him win USA vs Japan at irwindale driving a mustang and I've been a fan ever since!
Shot in the dark but I think the new spec 5D I’m going to guess it’s for Chelsea to compete in drift masters. Just my guess.
Everyone, will this into existence.
I absolutely thought the same thing, didn't think of Chelsea being the driver, though it makes perfect sense...I'm waiting for RTR to join Drift Masters and FDJ
@@taylor_driftrtr missed a trick this year James almost won it missing a round and with a 3 man team this year rtr backing would've walked it
Rtr would suck in drfitmasters the tracks are completely different and aren’t setup for the rtr. They are meant for the fast big tracks of fd.
Definitely think it's going to drift masters but I think it'll be for James Dean not Denofa
FormulaD reunion with "old" racers would be nice.
Betsy, Dai/Falken s13, Justin Pawlak's rx7, Aasbo's Chucky, Rhys Millen GTO etc...
Tuercks Solstice...
Justin Pawlak, not Bawlak lmao
@@ZER0value True. My bad 🤦
@@regno78 was that a mistake or did you actually think his name was spelled with a B??
Great update Vaughn , id keep the old wipe as original to your last win , that paint is what i know as an American Drifter.
well done for giving the lad , everything he needed to become champ ,
great team , great driver . great team boss .
be safe from Dublin
Its so awesome to be able to see whats going on behind the scenes, all the hard work yall put in to making such a quality product!
The mustang that introduced me to u and formula drift YEARS ago. Been a fan ever since
As an s197 driver myself, I adore the Falken DA mustang from 2005. I am very interested in seeing how it stacks up against modern builds. Definitely excited to see it get some love and shred again! That car is a time capsule so don't change much lol
Its just a restoration, not a rebuild!!
still amazed how he calls us all friends and it shows how humble he is. hopefully 1 day i could meet him and have a good conversation
I have a 1/24 scale car of the 2005 falcon car that my mom bought me when I was a kid. I still have it to this day! Every time I see that car in the background, I tell my wife, "I have that car"
VGJ saying friends when referring to the audience is great. Shows respect. Sounds better than fans or subscribers.
James dean is a champ 🎉 roll on the last round of fd !!!!
Seeing that a new demo car is being built for James just means he is hanging around RTR for awhile.
That gives me hope because I was worried that he would retire after this season
Came to the comments as I was watching to see if anyone else noticed this. They wouldn't build a car specficially for him at the end of the season if he's not going to be sticking around for at least another season haha.
Love the 197, motor looks already so wild for its time period. Little surprised it has the battery under the hood!
We were still figuring things out back then!!
RTR at Drift Masters would be unbelievable!
The og mustang!! I remember seeing that thing at hyperfest i think 2009, good times !! Then you came out to the first DOD at summit with the next version, good times good memories !!
Award Winning Performance!
This man have been talking about mind strength/process/games for at least 15 years!!!! Pay attention.
Bit of a reach but I would like to see you come to Ireland for Lz fest or drift masters!
Try to tandem the new and old FD Cars, with period correct tires. since everyone says the new cars are so crazy gripped up, would love to see how much faster they actually are
you would hear the old car leading more than you would hear the new car chasing, just because the new ones are so fast they don't even stay on throttle longer than a few seconds in the chase (best example for that are current battles in FD against very slow drivers like Mohan) you barely hear the throttle note and there's a lot of handbrake behind those slower cars
Love these shop vids. Also, pumped on the mustang making a return. Looks
Like a good gridlife car.
That falken green and blue 2007 mustang is iconic even for me just seeing it it’s so cool and in 07 I was 11 lol I loved when ford came out with that body style it looked so good and old school muscle but now the 1 and only turn off to those cars for me is the 3 valve I won’t touch them as much as I like them but I love the 2013 gt in grabber blue but for now I’m very very happy with my 66 coupe
You should just do some fun bash events in it. Grassroots guys would kill to get some tandems with that iconic car.
Ive been waiting for teal and blue Mustang content since you stopped driving it. LOVE that car. Saw it in person at the last Sonoma FD event. Dont change a thing about it. Dont even change the paint job. Def need to see it sideways again though.
We like time to time update THANKS Vaughn ❤❤. I wish lil bit longer vid.
3 different cars, 3 different drivers, and 3 FD championships in 5 years is NUTS!! I know we can’t count Jame’s yet technically but still a great accomplishment for the RTR camp! Great job everyone!!! Also having the first 4x FD champ on the team is a huge flex!
Formula drift builds up theatrics and Vaughn ruins it. We all knew it. Let’s go JAMES!!!!!
Would be so cool to see a single event with all the retired fd cars and drivers compete, there’s a few kicking around these days
First time finding your channel and I found Ford mecca. I'll follow this channel for keeps! When you have a chance talk about the beautiful power plants.
Dang, TJs spec 5D looking good.
Don’t tease like that , hope Luke Fink gunna get that seat dude would be a weapon 🇦🇺👍
Hopefully, the Spec 5D is for Fanga Dan, as for the og Mustang Betsy would love to see both Ben and James have a go in it with some drift challenges between them and then you in the latest version. Other than that see if any of the old drift cars from that era are around and do some battles with them, another idea would be grid life, hyperfest etc as demos. With you now doing the carbon have you thought about doing the combo of that and kevlar to help with bumper/fender budget
Og betsy lets go 🤟🏻
These drag racers are killing it with the turbo coyotes.
Id love to see a turbo fd car with the coyote
Fink for spec 5 😮
he definitely said "land down under", got the same feeling
I think it would be awesome to see the old mustang compete at E town next season.
At 12:08 you can tell the new rtr car and zoom in on the dash I think it might be right hand drive, I really hope this thing is for luke fink
Autozoner here!!! Lets go RTR!!!!
I lived by the shop XMP in Aliso Viejo and was in the parking lot when Betsy was being loaded onto the Falken trailer
Hurray ❤❤❤
I’ll love to see the s197 again ( I have one with rear trunk cut off ) and remember when trying to find videos of this car like a review I couldn’t find any really ( so please please make a full video of interior trunk space engine bay etc )
The sn95 vs the s650 throw them up on the lift and show how drastically different they are with the sn95 being solid axle and what not.
The spec5D is definitely going to drift masters whether itll be for Dean or someone else will be interesting
Finger crossed for some potential explorer st parts in the future!
Ooh, new driver coming to RTR soon? Can't wait to see who it is.
Got my Chelsea Denofa BC racing 2023 FD champ shirt on and a new RTR update let’s goooo
Can't wait to see the Spec-5, it'll be the PERFECT S650 Mustang I'm pretty sure.
It would be cool to see RTR start to produce kits for older mustangs.
for sure have to see the old car try and chase the new cars just to show the difference in speed and grip
imagine at an irwinedale round you all bring out the og fd builds for one last bang as mentioned in previous comments
Did Vaughn just announce, without announcing that RTR is finally coming to Drift Masters next season? I really hope so.
Same thing im thinking
that would be INSANE, I'd love that haha
+1
How and where?
Chelsea comeback?
i like to see the old girl in general, i would especially enjoy your thoughts after driving it again. Comparing to James or ben would be funny to see, can James even fallow a car that different in speed and angle, how much slower trying to chase or maybe wait till Chelsea is in town and get his thoughts too?
I wouldnt mind seeing a comparison between an old FD car and a current one to see what all has evolved over the years. And maybe depending how much work it would require bring it to current FD standards and give it one last event.
It'd be sick to see you rocking the OG 197 comp car. I know you're sponsored by Nitto now, but what about rocking it true to form with 615K+ or RT660s to keep it to 2005ish spec? 👀
Bring on Luke Fink to the RTR team!
😂😂
@@trippnoutmotorsport3164he will be better than hobson and at least do a nice showcase. Hobson just got the seat cuz yes he won the pro spec but he is tied with ford because of his daddy
@@angelwalker. as much as I’m not a fan of Ben, I’d take him 10x over than fink
@@trippnoutmotorsport3164 for the show fink. Im not saying fink is a beast like that. He would have to prove him self
@trippnoutmotorsport3164 Bubba, I don't think you know much, huh. Fink is one of the best drifters in the world lol, just cause he's not super famous, it doesn't take away from his skill. I'm sure all the pro drifters know that he'll give em a run for their money.
Crazy concept for FD, halftime historic battles. Think Romans in the Colosseum watching recreations of old wars. Recreate Taka V Hubinette, Tanner v Dmac and JR's D1GPUSA win at Irwindale?
Interesting!
Ah man. Where's that spec5d going and who's driving it. 👀👀👀
I believe that they build a RTR for Drift masters
That would be sick! I love James' S15 for DMEC, but an RTR being in an overseas drift comp series for the first time (that I know of at least) would be epic!
I would love to see a comparison between a 2005 FD car and a 2020's FD car as in forza no offense but been drifting more of that era of FD and D1GP than the modern cars (totally not using Chelsea's car as an off-road jump car with the viper motor) i just find the older cars a bit more finesse needed yet also easier in some respects doesn't matter if its a replica of Rhys's GTO or Team Oranges Subaru i just find 550-650 hp cars interesting to control compared to the 1000+ hp beasts of modern FD
bring it to lzfest and compete in the old girl !
Its impossible to not be excited with what happens in the lab. I would never get anything else done. Learning from people at the top of their game is more rewarding to me than any trophy or champagne out of a shoe. Seeing them make the connections and innovative leaps that put them at the top and possibly being a part in any way is just too good, whether anyone else ever knows or not.
You could put stronger springs on the gas door
Higa in RTR
You definitely ain’t a rusty old man, but if you say so, that “rusty old man” gave me a hell of a ride at ford fest on Saturday!
Thanks for coming out!!
@@VaughnGittinJr any time bro! I’m just glad yall ran in the rain!
When is a rtr getting a big turbo Barra? Waiting to see the ride along with Adam 😂
would be interesting if you could get it competitive and do a throwback year and maybe a championship.
Please don't change a single thing with the OG livery on the mustang! i'd love to see it get a faithful recreation of what the original was
The new spec 5 for Conor shanahan have the master and the apprentice
When is the new version 13-14 illuminated RTR grill coming out?
I'd take the old car to something like Klutch Kickers once that ball starts rolling again
Please do Final Bout in the original RTR???
🤔
Man that thing is a 'bute Im gonna have to get my butt to autozone
Chelsea: "Pack your fucking shit in the trailer!"
Vaughn: "Pack them nerds in the trailer!"
that Mustang?! The same Mustang that wins D1 Grand Prix USA?
Yep!
Gleichner Wall
Are Ben’s FD car lights pink or is it the lighting?
His are pink
Yeah Odi Is a BAMF
I will bet that, the Spec 5D in the corner is the prize for james dean championship...
The black mystery car is either a Chelsea drift masters car or a prospec car
Guess again!!
@@VaughnGittinJr higa ?
@@thiagofigueira316 nope!!
Looks right hand drive, $30 that it’s Connor shanahan
I think it’d be cool to make some rtr widebody kits for the s197 generations
I’m pretty sure that the owner of the mustang that was bleeped out is drift games cause they said something about a rtr mustang
Where in North Carolina is the demo?
Tindol Ford in Gastonia
Higa in rtr?
RTR going to DMEC? That would be sick if RTR could take the FD and DMEC championship in a year
Maybe he means S650 spec 5-DM
I really want to know what happened between RTR amd Andy
can you tell us about the engine? 15:03
Yes
5.0 aluminator i think
going to sound stalker ish but i've touched the og falken car when it was pretty new
Compete the 05 mustang in a pro am event! I wanna see if it’s the size of the dog in the fight or the size of the fight in the dog!!!
If I win the 2025 Pro Am Championship down here in Florida would it be enough to convince you to let me run Betsi (OG Falken livery S197) for the 2026 Pro Spec season? P.S. I plan to win the Pro Am championship in my 05 S197.
doubt it cause that thing is probably worth more than the 3 2024 FD cars combined because of its history, but good luck!
@@Thesimdrifterguy536 Maybe not moneywise, but sentimentally, absolutely.
Lauri or Daigo in RTR FD25
Why cant u take a raptor and make it to a drifttruck?
Is there anything that you can do in your old comp car that you cannot in your current comp cars? Any sort of edge that old girl has over the new young bloods?
WHY NOT A FORD GT SUPER CAR SPEC RTR. And then a FORD GTD RTR..?
Bc they’re not that rich
