- BODY: Auto World
- WHEELS: MEV
- TIRES: Auto World
The 5th T-jet I bought as a complete car, this came new all pre-assembled and ready to go in an Auto World clamshell. At the time it was the fastest car I had, and although it has been eclipsed many times over, it remains extremely consistent; it still performs well, turning in respectable times even after hours and hours of racing with very little maintenance other than the occasional oiling and cleaning. For this reason, I’ve dubbed this Gen 1 GTO “Old Reliable.”
It remains almost completely stock today, the only modification being a change from the original Auto World wheels to identically size chrome reverses from MEV which still use the original axles and tires. This dresses it up just enough to make me happy; its lime green finish isn’t flashy but is realistic; unlike many of my cars I’ve resisted the urge at further decoration, preferring to keep this one looking like a “sleeper.”
A year of racing on 4 different tracks has yet to shake her down! She’s never won a tournament, but she’s always in the running!
