Cars that only YOU seem to like
I love the El Camino but they are too long and won't fit on my track.
I ALMOST was able to purchase one back in 2000 but I didn't have the $1200 I needed and couldn't get my parents to loan me the $$.
Current favorite for me it the Lethal Diesel. Low, fast, and mean ..... looks like a bunch of hot rodders got their hands on a military HUMMV and went to town building it into a street beast>
Plus, I won the Meal Ticket Raceway wild card shooutout event back in July of last year with one. Ironically, it was the last race before the racetrack got destroyed by a freak accident.

- I just Love that track it is pretty cool.... — Desert_Rat_Racing
- Nice editing and a great track!! — Vulfgang
The Hyundai Tiburon; talk about a total underdog, both in real life and as a HW cast. Was too early to ride the wave of the JDM Import Revolution that was pioneered by Jun Imai and Ryu, largely forgotten by collectors and HW in general. I believe there were only 5 releases before this guy faded into obscurity and maybe even quiet retirement. It performs well above average on HW orange and Fat Track.
- Great car! — Stoopid_Fish_Racing
- I really like that car! I have a Hyundai Genesis, but not a Tiburon — ManiacMotorsports
This one's still my favorite from when I was 5. I hope to some day find a race that it'll fit into so I can build one.
- I've been thinking about doing a race for the 70's gas crisis cars; models like the Ford Mustang II and Pinto, Chevy Monza and Vega, etc. I owned a Mustang II coupe that I loved and have made some models of it. Looking for a good excuse to make a speedy little diecast of my car. If there's actually enough interest in running them, I'll start planning for it as I build my track. — Billys_Midway_Racing
I know Fantasy cars can be very hit or miss but The cockney Cab stands as one of my favorite castings. When ever the opportunity arrives I will mod one for a race.
Punk Rod, a 2023 casting that caught my eye, has yet to race but one of those cars that looks fast just standing still. What I like about fantasy cars is that you are attracted to the vehicle in its own right, not because you are a JDM fan or Mustang, BMW etc.
- There are some really cool looking fantasy cars, like this one. It almost looks like a real car. — Billys_Midway_Racing
- I also really like this one! — Fat_Dad
My favorite "fantasy" casting would have to be Syd Mead's Sentinel 400 Limo:
Syd Mead was a futurist concept artist who did design work for several films, including Blade Runner and Tron.
Anyway, I think it's pretty neat.
- Looks amazing, it's good to get hold of some of the older models — Phil_NWA1
- I dont remember that one. Did they make many colors? — ManiacMotorsports
- Honestly the casting only had a couple colorways. The first edition was the best and I'd vote the police car 2nd best looking. I'll add a photo above^ — Fat_Dad

- Awsome looking car! The original Blade Runner is one of my all time favorite movies. — RC_Attucks
Buick Wildcat concept. The windshield is metal, weigh 40 grams, 12.25 mm wheel diameter, lots of wheel clearance, run them backwards to get a little quicker start on drop down start gates. Auto makers did this constantly, build a great concept car and never mass produce it.
I tend to go for classic and modern muscle cars. Classic muscle and classic cars. Honestly I go for what I like.
