i never knew johnny lightning made model kits. they have superb 1/64 (very interesting themes, too) scale cars, so this is probably a hit. where'd u get this kit. i'd want my hands on 1

Johnny Lightning doesn't make models technically....Johnny Lightning and AMT(the model company) are owned by RC2 which is a large toy company. They also make a lot of diecast models....they are just reboxing the GTO and whoring out the Johnny Lightning name to market them.

umm... your car kit would look better if you had a double nostril intake hood thing.

yeah but as this is a gts and they dont make them anymore (they went on special order) but it would look better
