Specs/prices/vid on the '11 Mustang GT RTR

Per Autoweek...

Dealer-installed package named RTR that upgrades the suspension, adds bigger wheels and sorta subtle exterior stripes.Ford says the RTR had the input of drifting race star Vaughn Gittin Jr. The package is launching now for the new Mustang GT. A version for the V6-power Mustang is due to arrive late this year.
The RTR package carries a suggested retail price of $7,895. For that, you get:
-- Ford Racing shocks and springs that lower the car 1.5 inches.
-- Bigger rear sway bar.
-- Cross-drilled and slotted brake rotors.
-- Falken FK452 performance tires.
-- RTR 19-inch wheels
-- K&N air filter and Ford Racing engine tuning, good for a 9-hp increase over the base 5.0-literV8's 412 hp.
-- Front chin spoiler with splitter.
-- Aluminum rear spoiler.
-- RTR badges and floor mats.
-- Ford Racing mufflers that aren't so quiet but are 50-state legal.

Love the wheels, the rest is too Fast and Furious for my taste. I'd rather a stock looking GT with those wheels/tires/springs.

That is a very well priced option for what's included. I'd spring for it even if I'd end up changing most of it out eventually.

RTR was originally designed as an all carbon fiber mustang cutting 200+ lbs from the 3600lb mustang gt. To me adding rtr badging without reducing weight of the car is a distasteful knockoff! Specially for those who will pony up the extra 80k for the original all carbon fiber mustang rtr!


I would much rather have the brembo mustang gt with griggs ss chasis kit and save 4k bucks.
