Hate to say but I got out of FM some time ago. Couldn't justify the price for what you got?? The last one I bought was the 78 Pace Car and I returned it

The 1:1 is a beauty, but FM hasn't done a C6 yet that looks right to me. They just look awkward, especially the front end which looks stubby, and the ride height is off on them (too high). I wouldn't own one. Maybe DM will take a shot at C6's someday.

It sure would be cool to see a pace car with strobe lights finally Just wish FM would do a 1:18 instead

Why can't the diecast companies get together and make one size. That way my collection doesn't look funny when I display them all together I mean, who came up with 1:24 anyway

I think 1/24th was around way before 1/18th.FM does not excite me anymore either.Like I said in a past post FM has become the ERTL of 1/24th
