Sweet! Can't wait for pics! Hoping it turns out well proportioned.

This. And with wheels all the same size.

This. And with wheels all the same size.

Yes and yes.

Get us photos! I never heard word of a new casting, and now I am excited.

It was on the official list that was released a month ago-ish.

 

[MedigoFlame]

That and the Scion FR-S better turn out to be stock...

From what I have heard it will be a racing version, but I don't know for sure...

I should have pics of the Acura up on the blog shortly. (And I think a certain Brazilian site will have pics of the Pagani)

 

[AOS-]

Like the S2000?

:/

If it doesn't have body kits then acetone the body and we'll get stock colours!

 

[CodeRedR51]

From what I have heard it will be a racing version, but I don't know for sure...

Since Mattel has a license with Evasive for the S2000 this year, if they were to copy the Evasive FR-S it would be straight badass.

I see 2 customs out of that; Illustrious Modern Racer, and Illustrious Modern Sports (after cutting off the wing)

 

[Nessy]

Can't wait to see the Acura, but i really hope they don't do that Evasive FR-S, can't stand the wing or bodykit.

If I get my hands on this, I might just want to make a white recolour before Mattel does.

Also, boo Trap5s...MC5s surprisingly look more accurate to the concept than Trap5s.

 

[Nessy]

Wow! i can't wait to get one of those.

 

[Cano]

I really hope they don't do that Evasive the FR-S, can't stand the wing or bodykit. freaking car

Yeah, tell me about it. Sadly, it's confirmed, so a car slot sent to hell this year which could have been used for a cool car like a Ford Pinto.

 

[Nessy]

You'll just have to make do with the old Poison Pinto.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Because racecar.

Also, boo Trap5s

Agreed.

You have got to be joking.

I'm going to pull a TC and say if want the Pinto so bad, find ways to make the car super popular among boys so that the designers take notice and make it in the future.

Why go through all that trouble? Well... look how popular the '11 Ford Fiesta became thanks to Ken Block for example. We got Monster livery Gymkhana kit Fiestas now!


Perhaps you can do something similar.

 

[Nessy]

Because racecar.

I don't care if it is a race car, the body-kit is bad enough, but i really cannot stress how much i hate that style of wing, thing is truly hideous.

 

[jtl46]

I actually really like the trap5's on this one.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Aerodynamics man. It's not just for looks, it has a purpose too.

 

[AOS-]

I don't think you need the arms to grab the wing from the top to contribute to a performance increase. I believe that is what he is getting at.

 

[Cano]

That's a casting I've fought with. I have only two versions, and both of them are pretty rough. Not an easy one at all.

You have got to be joking.

I hate the FR-S with a passion. A Fiat Multipla or Pontiac Aztek instead of it would have been celebrated.

I'm going to pull a TC

Haha, you certainly did. Pintos had their share of participation in SCCA racing back in the days of barely television, but they were more famous for setting tehmselves on fire, lol.

 

[McZachenF1138]

I found, rather strangely, only a few J case cars at a Walmart today as well as two Retro Ecos and Batmobiles. Pics later!

Maybe these uber awesome DTM cars with the same setup are also crap.

 

[Nessy]

I never said anything about the performance of the wing.

[EDIT] (My apologies, didn't read the quote/posts properly)

I know they're on a lot of race cars (Le Mans, DTM etc etc), but i just can't stand them. There's only one thing i can't stand more than that type of wing... the Le Mans/ F1 style vertical stabiliser/fin.

[Nessy]

Cool DB7 wyvern. 👍 I'm not really keen on the silver/chrome painted glasshouse though, why on earth did they do that to the World class stuff?

[EDIT]

@ Cano. I'm actually surprised HW's hasn't done a standard Ford Pinto yet.

@ Cano. I'm actually surprised HW's hasn't done a standard Ford Pinto yet.

Just Google searched it, came across this. I have no idea how old it is, but man I'd love to get my hands on one.

Also, I'm trying to find a few old Hotwheels I used to get in my McDonald's kids meal
I'm sure they're around - they were more commonly either stock cars or standard cars, like this Miata I found in my old case.

Damn, that's awesome. Love the bodykit. :drool:

[CodeRedR51]

Oh screw you. I'll end up with the Supra tomorrow night for $2. (hopefully)
