ferrari 250 LM been thinking about getting one of these , looking at looksmart, bburago, hotwheels, i can't quite put my finger on it, but seems like the hotwheels version's overall stance is wrong - seems like the car is thicker than it should be - i'm hoping that some of you out there have these cars and can share some of your opinions thank you

Here are some shots of the Mattel version but it's the only one I have. I like it!

I currently have the HW Elite race version...though previously had the non-elite. Fairly sure that the both used the old Bburago mold, which at this point is about 30 years old.
For me, its not a car that I needed a super expensive, super detailed version. The Elite was good enough for me & has some great upgrades over the non-elite & Bburago (particularly the very nice wire wheels). Plus, I got it super cheap & I'm a big fan of Mark Donohue.
HW base model (non-Elite)

Any idea why the 2 red lights mounted on the roof

Not sure, Dennis. Maybe so the team could identify the car on the track?

Thanks, Josh...I guess it was one of his first professional gigs, if not THE first.
