I've barely started seeing model kits for the 2005 C6, as in within the last week, so lord knows when we'll see them. However I know that I'll pick one up the second I see one.

And talk about qaulity! Autoart makes Mach 1s/Cobras ect and they are top notch. Only one company did a LS1 Camaro--Welly and it was junk.

EDIT: OH NO. I have a BIG feeling it will be WELLY again!!! I just looked under the Firebird I got from the dealer ($5) and it said WELLY on the bottom!!!!
This one is 1/32 and it's the type you wind back and it goes forward.

I hope Hot Wheels is making the die cast instead of Welly. When I got my Welly Camaro, the door fell off as soon as I took the car out the box. Another Camaro they had at the toy store, the wheels had fallen off and were rolling around in the box.
My Hot Wheels Corvette seems to be much better made.

LOL......Welly really sucks, I had to laugh because the 4th Gen SS that they put out is terrible. The whole front end is out of proportion on that car, but I've got 2 of them that I managed to find that didn't have something wrong with them. Since Welly is the only one that put out a late model SS I'm stuck with them.
Hot Wheels 1:18th would be nice, Ertl Elite series would be better, but more pricey.
Please, let it NOT be Welly or Motor Max.
