I've not pushed them enough to find out for fear of cracking the paint. But FM's fiberglass models are much lighter in weight than their diecast counterparts and on a par with the clear-cast versions.

Have them all, love them all. All colors are winners by a "split decision".

I have the original silver / red interior one and the Z06?? Tanker Blue/Beige.  If memory serves me right that was its designation “Z06 Tanker”
