All we want for Christmas is a Ford GT
The Ford GT has always been badass. When it went into production in 2003, all of those kit cars from back in the day suddenly paled in comparison to a genuine GT40-inspired supercar. It was a relative bargain, too. Of course, when we say relative bargain, we mean expensive. Always willing to settle, we've found a way to claim with a straight face that we own a GT. It's still not cheap, but it's hundreds, not hundreds of thousands. Winding Road has pointed us to the 1:6 scale remote control Ford GT over at wowzzers.com. Equipped with a 23cc engine, this three-plus foot long vehicle can buzz around at a maximum speed around 60 mph. Christmas is coming, and it's only $650.

Looks like a Ford GT and a Porsche 959 love child.

For $650 it should at least look as good as the real thing. Those wheels are stupidly small and the body looks pretty crappy too.

check out hpiracing.com, they've got higher quality stuff and much better looking bodies, about 100, all for less.
I've got an R/C car from them with a few mods that'll beat a GSXR-1000 to 60.

The interesting thing about this RC car is that it is Largescale and runs on 2 stroke gasoline. Its *SO* much easier to run than nitro and much longer run times. That one should run for 25-30 minutes on a tank of gas.
