Default 300$ C5-r!!!
I was in Toy 'R'Us today for reasons I choose not to disclose, and noticed the almost complete lack corvette toys in the matchbox and car toy section. It has been almost completely overrun by imports and fantasy cars. Disgusted, I strolled out and right by the exit I saw this.
I didnt know the C5-R had a radio, ac, vert!

That thing rocks. I am thinking of buying one and mothballing it as an investment or at least till I have kids and they get old enough to play with it

Last Christmas got a C5R radio controlled unit from Radio Shack and it was less than $100. Then add batteries, etc. It really rips around my driveway with a pretty good slope and the whole cul-de-sac. It looks much more like the real C5-R's except that it now has no mirrors due to a few rollovers,
