After watching your excellent review I went out and bought this limited (5000) beauty thank you it's certainly worth it:-))))))))

[Thecarroom]

@Thermoman69691 You're very welcome! We're finding this manufacturer a good source of mid-priced 1:18 cars, and these Ferraris are getting better and better. Glad you like the model!

Thanks for watching!

[blackhole522]

Elite's getting better and better!

[Thecarroom]

@blackhole522 Yes, we think so, too. It's nice to see a maker develop in a positive way.

Thanks for watching!

I was offered this model a couple of weeks ago and as I still suspicious about the hot wheels elite quality I didn't until this happened: the model got evaluated in the car room tv.

Now I'm confident to buy it. Thanks!!

[Thecarroom]

@MarMPB Always happy to help, LOL! We've been increasingly impressed by this maker over the past several months. Enjoy the model - and thanks for watching!

I am about to buy one cuz it's good and with good price!

[Thermoman69691]

@Thecarroom I bought this model yesterday and for the money it's fantastic it's a mix of AutoArt and Kyosho with some detail that you would find even on a BBR but also finding other tiny details that they have used a sticker instead of making a metal part. It took me ages to get it out of it's packaging so many screws and that twisty holding wire was driving me slowing insane but once it's out damn it's a really nice piece and it's next to his 250GTO:-) in my display

With the risk of being accused being a fan and a slapper at the same time I have to say that your presentation is great, but the model itself is a disappointment for me personally. I have both variations of this model and it is nice to see that Mattel took the time to make quite few details different between the two cars

[michaelmoss13]

They kind of missed the mark in the detailing department. Front suspension is nonexistent.Very bad , bulky blobs of plastic that hold the front wheels. The texture in the very well made cockpit is not CF as it was nonexistent in early '70. It is supposed to be the cloth used for padding on the seat. Unfortunately Mattel made it gloss. The engine is an exercise of wasting the labour of the person who designed the mold. Beautiful distributor with all the wires going in a whole in the middle ?!?etc
