You dog... you really tricked me. I have a similar car model in my closet... It is all covered with decals... very cool. I got it at Target 2 years ago. Where did you get yours? How much?

I actually saw this RC at Radioshack, I believe, about 2 years ago. I should have bought it. Where did you by it though? It'll give me something to do this weekend.

he he he... Its got all the goodies I would like to add to my 1/1 scale model...
Wife bought it at a store called Winners (dunno if you guys have these in US). Saw some at The Source (i.e. Radio Shack in Canada) too. Brand of the toy is Excalibur.

I'll publish the 60-130 numbers in 10 days!

Hehe, I have that same model. I had it sprayed at the same time my fenders were being painted so that it would be a mini clone of my full size version.

I also bought one a few weeks ago at the source (radio shack name no longer used in Ontario)
got it for $40 (was half off).
I have also seen these at best buy and costco
indoors it doesn't seem to work that well but outdoors it works great!
Mine is at the detailers right now...hah hah

The deck lid is about right, the wing is on vertical risers.
The photos on the box suggest a "Type G" body with GT2 bolt-on flares (without the right proportions and odd headlights, wrong roof line, c-pillar and door out-line. The wheels are random, but not "incorrect."
I doubt it's as fast as a GT3. : )
