Cool. Send an email to Mike at AAW, I think he said he is building his 2nd gen like one of those.

Man those are cool as hell. I have to get the red one....hell I need both of them. I wish there were more 2nd Gen models out there. I think Lane or GMP need to build some 2nd Gen cars. Both of them build beautiful cars. I have a bunch of 1st Gen cars from both companies.


P.S. How big is the car?

They're 1/32 scale, so 4 1/2 to 5 inches. I've raced these for years and there lots of fun, addicting and can get a bit expensive like any other hobby

They also did the first gen camaro but the Sunnoco cars were sold out long ago, only can find them on ebay. My favorite place to buy is Fantasy world hobbies. Cost on these is around $48 although you might be able to find them cheaper

The #13 Warren Agor car currently owned by Ed Dwyer from LA is actually Hugger Orange.

I emailed GMP recently to tell them that Scalextric took a stand and made the 2nd Gen cars and asked them if they were planning on doing any and they flat-out said no.
I told them they were seriously missing the boat there...with one body they could make so many different race cars and also their street fighter series among others but they would have none of it.

If anyone wants to voice your displeasure,email them @ www.gmpdiecast.com

This car is a big improvement over the 1st Gen's...and those are stellar cars,I've got them all and my buddy has all the Boss 302 cars.

I also have the RJ Gottlieb Big Red '69 Camaro on order...
