Motormax is good, but the Maisto version is actually a bit more detailed - and I think it's less expensive. 🤔

That silver one ran me $44.00 plus $11.00 shipped.

Porsche. There is NO substitute.

@perrone1 except for a Vw hahaha.
I remember the line about the Porsche, from the Tom Cruise movie, "Risky Business". But I suppose you can say the same for the VW. I know of no substitute for it. I do like the overall look of the Motormax's GT but the Maisto has slightly better engine detailing. I have very few 1/18ths so I do not know the difference, dollar-wise, between the two.

@perrone1 the funny part is the seller offered to refund the shipping cost as he did it through his workplace. Told him not to as I did not want him getting in trouble..

"Good for you; when someone is that thoughtful, it is its own reward."
Oh, no way! 😲 😧 😲
A seller offers a partial refund because he shipped your item for free and YOU turned it down? Oh, there's no way I'd refuse that....
...you TWO are TOO nice! I realize what goes around comes around, but there's no way I'm rejecting free money.
Free money is so very hard to come by! 😲 😲 🤑

Correct, in this case.... the Maisto is better GT replica. It used to sell for $19.00

Initially, I thought you were wrong - Tom said that in Top Gun - but, no. You are correct, "Risky Business." 😎 😎 😎

You're full of biscuits Chris. Who are you kidding. You would have done the same as Ben. You're just a softie with a kind heart too.
