Hahaha ! My laziness took over ! :lol:

I see what you mean regarding the engine details. The dirty look has to do with it.
Overall, the SC is better than standard Sparks. The shape is spot on here which is not the case on their RSRs : there are some inacurracies but not dramatic. And I particularly love the exhaust pipes.

If I'm not mistaken, this is their first street car in 1/18.

So Dave, you made a good decision. :D

Davide, once you have the SC, you should do a mini recap of your Porsche collection. Myself as well as many others would love to see it.

I don't know, photos of your favourite Porsche's, special models etc. With the Yellowbird there above, the upcoming GT Spirit RS, your plainbody RSRs, I'm sure you've got a nice grouping by now.

Grrr, David, you will get me broke!
Outstanding pictures, realy amazing!

So I recon you all recomend this model? Is it better than GT40 (which was rubish so I sold it)?
Which one do you prefer; this SC or 918, both from Spark?

Spark owes you few models in 1:18 for making so many people buy their models! :beer:
Looking at the pictures I get a feeling you take photo of each model separately and then mix them into one? :scratchhead:

Cheers, guys ! :lol:
Guleb : The SC is without a doubt an improvement over the standard Sparks.
The 918 RSR is different as a racing car it has much more little details here and there. It will have more impact on display. On the other hand, we have a sleek 911 and one of the best iteration of the car to date In my opinion.
To sum up : Visual impact => RSR, sleek, classic and timeless design => SC.

I really can't choose between both.

Dave : I'm looking forward to your review. ;)
Sanchez : Haha yeah !
I can guarantee you that both are on the same picture. ;)
