I like this camaro better than the blue one...this version only the wheels look like they come from the dollar store.

I'm looking forward to both of these cars.

Alan, can you confirm if this Camaro will have the same lower downforce magnet as the Corvette did? Or was the Corvette the only car to have have that lower downforce magnet.

Camaro looks nice. If the Lambo had an interior, I would be willing to get one of those.

At race speed you can't see the interior anyhow.

If it's sitting on shelf then, yeah, I guess an interior would be nice.

Will see if I can confirm magnet on Camaro. ( cheked with Scalextric in the UK they list 200 grams downforce for the Camaro ) They list 166 grams on the Vette.

Regarding Lambo, Scalextric did not tool this car for full interior, so I do not expect to see a version made that way. The Market ( at least in Europe ) has turned almost full circle price and durability are more important to many Slot Car buyers.
Ironically even Fly(slot) is downgrading detail on their cars.

Yes, I noticed this on their 997 and their 512 CL release. I like detail and interiors so was not pleased that they did not even bother to paint the interior on those cars.
