Ready To Rock

Dreams, Passion and “Cool Sh*t Wins” — The Story of RTR Vehicles

By Vaughn Gittin Jr. with Mike Spinelli

Foreword by T-Pain

Hope you like going sideways.
Since he began competing professionally in 2004, Vaughn Gittin Jr. has dominated the most entertaining forms of motorsport in the world — from smoky drifting to high speed off-road racing. Now, as founder and owner of RTR Vehicles, he's embarking on a new mission: inject that trademark attitude and personality into the iconic Ford Mustang and Ford Bronco straight from the factory.

This is the story of how Gittin Jr. and his team of fellow underdogs rewrote the rules and rose to automotive prominence, winning two Formula Drift championships and establishing themselves as car culture trend-setters. With the help of veteran journalist Mike Spinelli, they detail the journey from after-hours drifting in New Jersey industrial parks to competing — and winning — on the world's biggest stages.

More than an automotive biography, Gittin Jr. also details the critical steps it took to build RTR Vehicles into a pioneering performance center, set to release the Mustang RTR and Bronco RTR in a landmark partnership with Ford that has earned Gittin Jr. the moniker of "A modern day Carroll Shelby." For millions of dedicated fans, it represents a dream come true. For Gittin Jr. and the RTR team, it's another chance to shock the world.

Also available as Limited Edition here.
