Who built your motor?

Just curious. Post a pic!

I wish I could decipher this guy’s signature to send him a "thank you" for a job well done. His creation just ate 2 GT3's yesterday.

G deGuiseppe for me. Decidedly un-German. More Italian like. Not a bad thing, just gives me a smirk when the 360 is in the rear mirror..

Popped the hood on a new E55 Saturday at HBL in Tyson's Corner Virginia, and saw that very name.

An American defector?

Mine is built by Rosario Mollore (sp?)...seems to have done a decent job.

Quite a multi-national crew they seem to have over there.

From what I have been told there are on 45 engine techs at AMG,of which 25 dedicated to the 55k motor. It would be nice to know who built some of the motors running low 12's and high 11's in stock trim!

Mine was built by Robert Feiler. It ran 12.0's stock in August and it runs 11.3's with Cory's touch. Don't know where he's from but, I'm happy with my guy.

Cool to hear ol' G is doing a good job. Always puts a smile on my face anyways, fun to hear at least 2 other board members own (or have seen) his signature)
