Speed Machines: Corvette C6R

Another C6R entry this time featuring the second color of the Speed Machines series, but unfortunately aside from the nice casting, the decal design of this variant cannot uphold the glory of the first variant.
I would say its just like any other typical Hot Wheels tampo design.
But, still a worth to grab for C6R fans and collectors.






Side by side comparison with the first variant.

C6R GT

Wow, yet another C6R related entry.
well since i got many pictures to post, i need to break it up to several entries.
in this entry i want to compare the C6Rs from Jada and Hotwheels.

so pictures 1st..(as usual, click for bigger images)

Jada cars are always bigger than normal 1/64 cars, even though they categorized their cars as 1/64 scale too. anyway i did think at 1st that hotwheels version is nicer due to the decals, but after comparing them side by side, i guess Jada still wins..IMO, the casting looks more accurate and the bigger size is more satisfying.
but Hotwheels decal design plus the co-mold wheels are irresistible too!
in case you are wondering, the hotwheels follows the

2007 LAGUNA SECA / 2007 ALMS version


while Jada follows the 2005 Sebring GT1 version


man, if Jada comes out with the ALMS version too, im pretty sure to grab it! :)

Jada C6R

Jada BigTime Muscle - Track Series.
2008 production wave 16.

A friend of mine bought it for me while he was in Aussie..thanx :)
This C6R is based on the GT1 Corvette C6.R debuted in 2005 as the successor of C5.R



There are lot of die-cast manufacturers produce this car in 1/64 scale like
Jada, Hot wheels, Kyosho and Greenlight, proof that the car is really popular back then till now.
anyway here are the pics! (click for bigger images)


as usual, the favorite pickup truck will bring the car to the studio..lol





somehow its funny the car came with chrome rims,
but you'll get used to it after a while..cause its still looks superb!
and if u compare it with the real car above, it perfectly replicating it.
with almost all the decals being present in the body design.

Now here's one funny thing about Jada that i noticed recently. when i started collecting Jada cars,
i only go for Japanese cars. and ALL their japanese cars have very negative tire offset..lol
u can refer to my Jap cars from Jada entries to see.
so now that i started buying cars other than Japanese cars, i realized that the cars from other makers have a proper offset! so i was thinking if the "deep dish" wheels in the Japanese car models are intended..
perhaps they designed the cars based on "Ah Bengs" cars in the US? LOL >_>

Speed Machines Corvette C6R

Probably the best release from Hot wheels this year.

Matte Color Cars

i really have a spot for sport cars with matt colors..not only they look good on real cars but to scale models too..coincidentally, this year there's a bunch of nice matt color model releases..



the first one is corvette c6r which i got last month thanks to Alan for keeping one for me..it came with '34 Ford TH..which im yet to get a hold of..soon maybe..heh

then comes the Ford GT-LM..been aiming for this one since i saw the video of a visit to HW factory..its really cool and i think tampo-wise, this one stands up most..it came with Boneshaker TH.





and lastly the exotic looking Lamborghini Gallardo..the black looks so cool that u feel like buying more n more everytime seeing it on the peg..lol..this one came with Fire Eater TH.





there's another one that im still looking for which is the Lamborghini Reventon that came in matt grey color and together with Neet Streeter TH..the wave didnt managed to reach KL area thus i missed the chance to own it..hope my fellow members can spare me one..hehehe
