What the heck did they do to these cars. The white 98 car I picked up has the "shifted up pickup". It looks like the new yellow Shell car has it too. After sanding the tires and getting the motor broken in all I can say is Wow!
My 7 year old son beat me driving this car every race. I was driving an older model. out of five races he lapped me by three laps, two laps twice, and by one lap. Only once did I loose while on the same lap. Believe me after loosing a race by three laps I was trying!
