Thanks. I think I'll pick one up and see what I can do to level the field with some of my other classic cars. Some of my favorite cars are front-engined sports cars from the '50s and '60s. There are so many available from several manufacturers but they don't always perform equally - Monogram Cobra Daytonas Coupe, GS Corvettes and Jaguars - Scalextric and Fly Ferrari 250 GTOs - Ninco Jags, Healeys, Porsches, Ferraris - MRRC Porsches, Fords, Cobras. I'd love to see say a Cobra Daytona Coupe run against a 250 GTO but it seems like it would take considerable work to make them competitive. My tuning skills are basic but I'm learning. I'd love to see a thread series where these cars are modified to be competitive with one another. As much as I'd like to hack up one of my Monogram Daytona Coupes or Grand Sport Corvettes I'm not sure the finished product would be anything worthwhile. I'm tempted to remove the interior from one of my GS Vettes and swap an NC-1 and Ninco running gear in it and see what happens...
