Jay, you need to have him back to talk about the 03 -04 cobras he helped design. Obviously everyone needs more Camilo.

Definitely one of Jay's better guests. Very informative video.

[sausagefingers]

Dude's got a sharp memory, great technical-artistic talent, and mad skills in speaking on a fascinating subject. Great episode!!!!

This is, in my opinion, the most beautiful, most amazing car Ford has built. It's almost 20 years old, still beautiful, still amazing. And....they came only with a 6 speed manual transmission. No computer controlled or paddle shifted automatic, just a do it yourself stick shift and clutch....as it should be.

Camilo is easily one of the best guests this show has ever had. Wish they all could speak this well on their vehicle.

This was definitely my favorite episode, the designer was so cool and we got the inside scoop of this car. Truly amazing.

[harveyboy]

This video illustrates why this is the best car show out there.

One of the most interesting episodes ever! Great guest. Thanks Jay!

By far one of the best episodes. So great hearing from the guy who designed it. He knows it so well and him giving Jay tips made me smile.

Have owned this car since 2009, bought it with 119 miles on it. The car now has 14900 miles on it and the only things that have failed was the oil pressure gauge and the gas cap seal. Still love it, last of the analog super cars, this and the carrera gt. Everything now is computer assisted, turbo charged, paddle shifters etc. Not saying there is anything wrong with that but I took my buddy's 720s out and although it is faster it is nowhere near as enjoyable to drive. When I show up to cars an coffee people take notice, the sound of the exhaust is that awesome rumble that is not muffled by turbos. Best car Ford ever made IMO. Thank you Mr Pardo for fighting for all the things that made this car right!

Best guest ever - humble, honest w/o gloss, obviously interested and obsessed. Amazing episode, thank you!

[chuckiedimes]

Probably the most engaging and informative guest you've ever had.

[michaeldel]

LOVE LOVE LOVED this video! So interesting to hear the insider design info and conversations that the average car guy and GT fan wouldnt know.

[leokimvideo]

Jay knows when the expert is next to you let them explain everything.

[michaeldouglaskemp]

This car will never look old. It is a dream car for many.

[nivekyerac]

Camilo is a super intelligent and gifted yet humble guy with no pretensions who designed a gorgeous car. Great episode~~ Thanks!

[jackyou]

Now THIS is a car video. Jay Leno is a legend!

[bereantrb]

I’ve been watching Jay’s channel for a very long time—this was easily one of my favorite episodes. Camilo was a wonderful guest.

[scottjayss.johnson]

Amazing how well the designer knows the littlest tweaks and every inch of a vehicle. I was impressed how he truly shows he has love for a car he helped create. I felt that it was like his special baby and expects you to take care of her. He put his heart into it.

I love how Jay always introduces the car before the guest. Great 👍
