What is this? A car for ants? How are we expected to teach the kids to race good... if they can't even fit inside the car!!??

Sounds like a stock cam, oh and that paint is horrible..needs a little buffing out if you ask me. Interior is nice though, what's the mileage like?

Where'd you get it? I've got a silver 84 and a black 86 SVO 1/18th, that Cobra would look nice next to them.

GMP. They have 93 Cobras as well.

What's wrong w/the bumper? These are NOT the same molds that they used on the first batch of Fox body models, FYI.

I will order a teal Cobra...eventually. I just got the 93 ltd convertible a couple months ago. It's awesome!

My wife got me a teal Cobra for Christmas (came in April ) and that R for my birthday. They rock! Now she keeps forwarding me the "New Release" notices from GMP. Their $500 GT40 is currently tempting me. Maybe for Christmas this year..........

FWIW, I know a guy who'll make a replica of your own car in 1/18 size for that much or a couple hundred less depending on custom work needed . I'll get one sooner or later for myself! I figure if you're thinking about that much for another model you might like to hear about a custom one

I picked up the 25th Anniversary Trans-Am Mustang. I think it's cool as heck.

When I have an extra 100 bucks I'll be buying that Cobra R.

Dude you've got a HUGE crack in your cement! THe car sounds damn good, you sure thats stock, or did your mufflers melt out? Get a burnout vid with that sweet thing.

Whats the mileage? .00025?

other than that, it looks pretty damn good
