(PICS) If you were thinking in terms of 1:24th, different answer.

My favorite one is a Phil Tocco one-off. He did it based on my then brand new 1972 Stingray LT-1:

Actually Jerry, the second FM '03 Z06 model I have...

...is styled just like the Z06 that I had; chrome wheels, ram air induction, headers, Borla exhaust, the whole 9 yards.

But in most cases, DM's Vette's are head & shoulders above the FM counterparts.

Having said that I will give props to FM's C5 and C6 models since DM didn't make them beyond the C4. Also, on some of their "cove" models the cove was cock-eyed. FM got that right.

But looking at their C3's, no one does Corvette better. Detail, accuracy, working features - the best!
