I just received mine from Clover Leaf (thanks guys!): some first impressions:
1. The finish is fantastic.I find it hard to think that one could get a paint finish better than this on a slot car.
2. The bright, shiny, garish grille looks very sixties-model like.
3. LOVE the fact that the front & rear valances are now part of the body! This saves me hacking it off the chassis and gluing to the body to avoid the unsightly gaps opening when you add some float to the body.
4. While I agree with the concerns that others expressed around going to inline on this car compared to sidewinder on the class mates, this is not as big of a deal for me due to the way we race in our group. The whole car lends itself to race prep and I am sure it will be very fast when prepared well. I will take it to our weekly races tomorrow evening and compare it to a well prepared, pretty quick Scaley 1970 Camaro that I have.
I like it very much.
