We're not at all related to it as a company, but some guy named Ben Collins is driving the GT350R up some rich guy's English driveway this weekend.

Ben Collins was The Stig on Top Gear.

Ben Collins was The Stig on Top Gear.

I thought it was Michael Schumacher. Was Ben the later Stig after Michael quit (second choice)? ;)

Schumacher only came on to drive the FXX. He was never the full time stig. Plenty of guest drivers have been The Stig when a manufacturer brings something really special to the show. I believe Darren Turner drove the Aston Martin DBR9 when they drove it on the show.

Ford said this morning that the Shelby GT350R-C will compete in the remainder of the 2015 IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge with Multimatic Motorsports.

How far we've come...

Thanks to the Boss 302 paving the way this Gen. Fitting that it was the other way around in the 60's.

I have a quick question for you. Why is it that Mustangs seem to dominate Chevy so badly in SCCA GTS, but Chevy seems to have an edge in the other factory car based classes, like Trans Am and IMSA?

Totally different set of regulations, different cars , different teams and different drivers.

Also, the Boss 302Rs are ancient, wheras the Z28.Rs in IMSA are much newer and were given many performance waivers to do things other cars couldn't.

What's up with the Z28s that are in GTS then? Different rules that favor the Boss more? I was wondering if it just may come down to better teams/drivers. Mustangs seem to kill everything in GTS except the one Aston driven by Kris Wilson. If he gets out in front, he usually wins.

I wonder what that tow hook is connected to? I wouldnt think it would be to the carbon composite radiator support?
