I quite often pay this kind of money for 1/18 die cast cars; however, in this case it is way over priced. There is no underbody detail, the wheels don't turn, and the front wheels don't steer. It should be about a $90 model.

$500.00 that's F-ing ridiculous . 5 bills are better spent on mods and upgrades.

Truly, if the model lacks all those features then $500 is a complete rip-off. There is a couple sites I've seen the price for just under $300, even still that is a stretch for what the model offers. Some sites I've visited have said only 100 will be made, while others say 200.

I think after waiting 7 years for someone to make the racing Corvettes again we would be greeted with a top-notch product, instead we get price gouged for a mediocre example.

Guys ....that is a very normal price range for a resin BBR 1/18 model. Dozens of brands sell versions in the $500+ price range .....and they have for many years.
Plenty of 1/43 models cost that much......
