It's not hard to come to grips with the fact that we're all envious of Vaughn Gittin Jr. Not only is the man considered one of the best race car drivers in the world, but he's also a master drifter of the highest order.

But if there's one thing that really makes us jealous of Gittin Jr., it's that he gets to drive a pretty sick, custom-tuned Ford Mustang during the Formula Drift season.

For 2012, Gittin Jr. will be fielding a sick-as-they-come Mustang that comes with a fully modded 6.7-liter V8 engine that produces a sick 800 horsepower. Built by Ford Racing and Roush Yates, the 410-cubic-inch powertrain gives Gittin Jr. plenty of ammo as he tries to conquer the 2012 Formula Drift season, especially after a disappointing 2011 year that saw the man finish 11th in the standings.

Gittin Jr is looking at the 2012 season as the perfect bounce-back year, where he is expected to challenge for the championship only two years removed from his last title reign.

With an 800-horsepower Ford Mustang RTR by his side, we don't expect anything less from the man that has made his name in the world of auto drifting.
