This is the last of the Maisto haul, for now.
I hope to go back for more and find some of the models I haven't seen yet. If my wishes are granted, you will be seeing a bunch more in the near future.
I'm a fan of the C7 Corvette. It has been criticized for being too derivative in its styling. The front end has shades of Viper and Ferrari 599 GTB. The front fender vents and A-pillar scream GT-R. Yes, it steals styling cues from its closest rivals, but all the pieces flow together, resulting in a look more exotic than any Corvettes in the past. For a semi-affordable sports car, it still turns heads on the street. My favorite features are the taillights. If you're driving behind one, which shouldn't be a surprise as these things are fast, it looks as if Batman is staring back at you.
Maisto produces both the base C7 and the Z51 in eighteenth scale. Other than a laundry list of performance tweaks, the Z51 Performance Package differs from a normal C7 in its wheels, as far as exterior is concerned. If you're searching for this model, it should be easy to spot with its black wheels. In my opinion, the base's wheels look cheap, and these split-five-spokes are a major upgrade for a car with this much performance and style.
By now, I don't feel the need to explain why these models are totally worth getting. Anything Maisto has produced in the past 3-4 years is golden. Most folks are leaving behind the Corvettes, Camaros, and Mustangs, and they're really missing out. Go grab them.
