Know Mark from Rolla. Went to an SAE Formula Race Car meeting and realized I was too busy to dedicate myself to the level he demanded. lol I recall seeing the Camaro he eventually crashed when he’d drive around campus. It was badass back in the day.
The crazy thing for me is how humble and approachable they are. Similar to Gale Banks. A wealth of knowledge, but also totally willing to pass it along.
Detroit Speed, Inc. last year at Columbus Kyle remembered my name... met me Friday and saw me in my car Sunday and said hey rob. I can’t wait for the day I can build a Detroit speed equipped car.
Pretty cool to learn about these guys and the history of marks builds. I see DetroitSpeed every year at lsfest and their operation, build, and products look top notch.
I always wanted Mr. Steilow to build me a nice 69 Camaro. LS3 with a Whipple supercharger, 4L80 trans, nice leather interior, L88 hood. Just a taste of what I have in mind! 300k probably???
The high school parking lot was filling up as it always did, everyone parking in their normal spot, talking sh!te about cars or girls, and in rolls a '70 AMX. We knew all the regular cars but this was a new one. Most of us stared intently and tried to figure out who was driving. I think Vance (who drove a '67 mustang but loved the AMX cause it was a two seater) already knew, cause he was grinning like a Cheshire cat when he told us it was Stielow. Turns out, Mark and his bestie had flown out west (CA? AZ?) bought it, and drove it back over the weekend! He was 16 or 17 at the time. . A few weeks later, on a Saturday night, he and bestie walked into In A Tub (notorious for serving up delicious, greasy, deep fried tacos) and we were all talking. It turns out they were going on a double date after eating. One of us pointed out that bestie missed a bunch of grease on the back side of one arm. In good humor, with his wonderful grin, he laughed and said, "Yeap. That's why I wore long sleeves!" His good humor and that simple phrase have stuck with me for 40 years. It's wonderful to see how far he's come AND he's even wearin' short sleeves🤣🤣🤣✌️
I have been following these two gentlemen since they started. They’ve always been an inspiration.
We love hearing that! Thank you.

Yes!
Thanks,I have been following these guys since the first car mag builds, that was a very cool interview!!!!!
Great interview of two car legends!
Awesome, I’ve been watching these guys since 2001. I didn’t know they are good friends for as long as they’ve been.
Yup! They go way back!
The Kings of Camaros. Shout out to Rolla!
Yeah man!
Big big fan of these two guys
They build some amazing rides
They sure do.
Great video, with two hot rod icons. Thanks for sharing.

The easiest guys to talk to.

Great story!
This video should have been 2hrs long. So much more to learn and see!
This is true, we could go all day.
I'm surprised that the "Mule" wasn't present for this. I remember the build series in, I believe it was PHR magazine.
Who is Charlie ?
Kyle said, “Pantina” 😂🍺
He always says that, we just let him roll with it...
Is the stripes on the side of the fender real carbon?
DSE, please make 5th gen GTO (2004-2006) parts.
Steeeeeelo🤘🏼
The man, the myth, the legend.
69 Camaros suck. This show should be for 70-73 Camaros.
You would take ANY of these cars and you know it. Don't be so uncool.
