I'd bet he and ole Enzo are catching up now about all the times they battled with Carroll bringing the huge lopey big block against the Ferrari twin cams of the day!

As far as I know the most splashed car in history, hard to explain 400 + hp in a 2300lbs car
He created some of the most iconic cars ever
