Default comparison help

Who makes the better Z06? Maisto, AutoArt, or other?

Who makes the better C5R? Action, Autoart, or other?

Please try to exclude mint cars. I dont really have the money to blow on those being 17 and all.

Pretty easy questions.

Although neither Z06 is perfect, I think the AutoArt is worth the extra bucks. It is part of AutoArt's Contemporary (i.e. cheaper) line, and you can tell. My two complaints are the wheels aren't dark enough, and the all red interior on the Torch Red one is incorrect. The overall body lines and fit and finish are much better than Maisto. They are based on the old UT toolings.

I've bashed the Action C5Rs enough in previous posts, so let me just say save some money and buy the cheaper and much better AutoArts. I've got them all and they are all awesome. My favorite diecasts by far.

AutoArt by far, but the Maisto's are easier to find and can be had for under $20 at times......

A couple of days ago I went to Exoticar in Palm Beach and bought a Lambo,Z06 and a Callaway all in AutoArt.I was comparing the Lambo and the Z06 to the Maisto and without a doubt the AutoArt is the way to go.It was like I was in a candy store when shopping in that store.Oh they had a F1 Ferrari in 1/5th scale.It was big as well you know....and it was awesome but very expensive :D
