If you look just behind the gulf livery ‘06c you’ll see a painting of that ‘06 done by Camillo. He and Pete Brock signed the car when my friend took delivery. He said he can send me a pic tomorrow when he goes into the shop, but he said it’s 100% his signature.
Seriously…. Amazing catch!
You’re 100% correct (god do I love the internet.)
A friend of mine is a GT collector is SD and purchased one of Camillo’s cars from him. I just sent the pic to him and he confirmed it’s definitely Camillos signature. Apparently he signs a TON of fords at every event he goes to.
The signature looks like James to me. My first thought was maybe he was your engine builder. It looks like the name on the builder plate starts with a J, but it’s hard to zoom in and tell while driving. Jason maybe?
I see a couple conflicting numbers on the internet for dark horse, but these seem pretty reliable since I believe they weigh the car at the time of testing (but I may be wrong.)
Good eye, he does lose significant ground right there at :38. I initially assumed it was just because the DH had to shift, and the extra rpm of the gt350 kept carrying it through. Thinking through it more though, especially with the shift speed of the A10 in auto, it’s probably more likely he...
I’m more interested in an apples to apples comparison. Manual to manual and a dark horse with all of the carbon fiber bits (since they’re driving a R) which is supposed to lower the weight by ~100lbs. Also, I’d love to see a track comparison by someone like Andy Pilgrim at NCM.
edit to add: I...
On a COMPLETELY unrelated note, is anyone here willing to lend me a Mach 1 from the evening of 11/10-11/12 in the Indianapolis area? I just want to see what the car will look like on my lift for a few days……. It doesn’t need to move once it’s here.
Unfortunately, I’m unable to discuss the development again on the forum until I sign back up as a paying sponsor. I’ll be sure to make an announcement when there’s any news.
Bob, that’s called attempted robbery in my state!!
For $840 I can buy a plane ticket to TX, grab an uber, a 12 pack of beer for us, spend an hour doing all 4 corners, and still have a few bucks left over. Let me know, we can make it happen!
My few local ford dealers have shop rates in the...
I use a product called reload, but any SiO2 (ceramic) spray will work. More than likely anything labeled as ceramic spray that you could buy at the auto parts store will suffice. Just make sure whatever product you buy doesn’t contain any wax.
Apparently they’re on reload 2.0 now. I need to...
It’s amazing how much better the car looks with the R splitter, Congrats! A few coats of ceramic spray will take it from matte to satin. Highly recommend.
