Harry,
As I've become accustomed to, reading your review has provided a very objective and non-biased review of the new classic cars from Carrera. I totally agree with your analysis of the 'slot cars of the year'. The Cheetah is one car that from the purely slot car side bring back so many memories of a very popular car released back in the 1960's.
I have place my order for one of the red Cheetahs and also the red Cobra. From the opportunity I had to run one of the Cheetahs around, I decided that would be obtaining one of them for myself. Of course, I just had to have one of the 289 Cobras to go with it as well.
During the evaluation period, I was running one of my Carrera Lola T-222s against the Cheetah. The cars are so close to one another in performence that it comes down to the talent of the driver. It just makes racing ALL of these cars against one another - as they should be - very fair. In my opinion Carrera hit a Home Run with the release of these cars for home racing! :clap:
