Turns out the C++ linter (syntax checker) of syntastic has many options that can be set on your .vimrc (unfortunate, I wish it was project specific, like the .clang_complete solution).

To enable c++11 standards and use the libc++ library with clang (which is what my project is using) I added the following lines to my ~/.vimrc

let g:syntastic_cpp_compiler = 'clang++'
let g:syntastic_cpp_compiler_options = ' -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++'

it now works beautifully.
