I got mine yesterday but i do not really like it firstly i think it sits a bit high at the front

also the front indicators are orange where as on the real car they are white and only turn orange when on i also think the door handles are not as well defined as my Biante XR8 and the front driving lights alongside the headlights look very small compared to the XR8

This in my view will not be as good as the Biante one which will be a pleasant change as classic appear to have produced a better VY race car.

Hmm yes.. I spose everyone will get one or not as its all personal preference when it boils down to the nitty gritty :). I will be getting the biante GTs aswell! Though i do hope the struts are more sturdy!

Ooh, are these out already? I haven't even picked up the Ambrose car yet.

Admin on CC stated that they tried their cars with and without the coloured indicators. Without it, they felt that the chrome would have been too accentuated.

I don't think CC and Biante are releasing many cars with the same colours. I think the only colour clashses are the Acid Rush cars. Even then, they may be different (GT, GT-P, Striped, unstriped, etc.)

I saw this car in question in the shops on the weekend & I must say I was pretty impressed. There was no price on it so I was a bit unsure as to who's it was, but it did look very nice all the same.

cheers. :)

The stated RRP is $165. But you'd be a mug to may more than $150.

I went to get one yesterday and my supplier said Classics were completely sold out as he didnt have any more left and we went to get more. Oh well i will wait for the GT Blood Orange.

Gateway have it for $145.

Not everyone will be buying every colour, so the 1500 production run may not really be all that small.

You will find one if you are willing to look for it.
