There is a bit of history with these fender cutouts. While they are functional at removing air trapped by the fenders, this design was first used on the K&N Engineering Infiniti G35 that was used in the Redline Time Attack series back in its hey-day. This tradition is carried on by the K&N Engineering Mustang RTR.
No, you aren’t seeing things and you’re probably surprised that you’re seeing Volk Racing TE37SLs on a domestic car. Well, these 18×9.5 wheel TE37SLs not only fit in the American Iron requirements, but Dave pointed out that these are some of the strongest wheels he’s used and are very reasonably priced. He has a history with Volk Racing and Eddie Lee of Mackin Industries since the K&N Engineering G35, so there is more history carried on by the K&N RTR! The required Toyo Proxes RR are sized 275/35R18 all around.
All of the lights on the RTR are fully functional as required by American Iron rules and the unique look of the 2014 tail lights really help make this car stand out in the racing crowd.
Of course, with how well built this car is and thanks to everyone involved, this may be the only view that American Iron competitors get to see of the K&N Engineering Mustang RTR.
The detail, the effort, the entire car couldn’t have been possible without the guys from K&N Engineering and Dave’s sponsors for the 2014 NASA American Iron series.
K&N’s slogan is “Make Your Move,” but thanks to the K&N Mustang RTR they may have to change it to: “Your Move!”
