New Ninco Porsche 356
Posted: Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:56 pmVery attractive paint...equally unattractive collector based price. A shame really. Like the recent Scalextric pricing it seems many have not noticed.
Sadly, because of that...I pass.

Posted: Wed Dec 19, 2012 4:09 pmI really like the livery. That's a great looking car. Sadly you are right Harry. Goose I would be all over multiple Carrera if they would bring out any one of the three you mentioned. Jim

I've got a spare 356 chassis and will be getting one from Chris A. instead. He's got a 356 body in resin.

Posted: Thu Dec 20, 2012 8:34 amNice car, but really at that price? I know they are made in Spain but get a grip Ninco. There is a guy making resin bodies on that other board that goes by "Munter", his really look good compared to a lot of them. :)

Posted: Thu Dec 20, 2012 9:36 amIts just pure price gouging, Its a shame really. I like their cars but I refuse to buy them at the prices they sell for.

Posted: Thu Dec 20, 2012 11:10 amIt's the age old PRICE debate. Carrera just has to be kicking butt in sales. They have too. Of all the brands we carry, Carrera cars are selling 2 or 3 for every one of the others. Plus, they are turning out awesome cars in 2 scales. I really like that 356 but I'll not be getting any. OK, bad day rant over.

Posted: Thu Dec 20, 2012 12:51 pmI've stopped buying NEW Ninco cars a long time ago because of their prices, the fact that they moved production to Spain means nothing to me.
Carrera and Slot.it are the brands I look at first, I feel they are a good value for the money.

Im a Porsche nut so it will be in my line up. I basically run the smaller chassis designs due to my small track, re-motor them if they have higher rpm motors with MT-1's and get a more realistic look whilst racing. I do not generally buy anything else, due to the fact that when you motor the faster cars down . . . well that just aint right!!!
"I'd seen someone selling 356 resins on ebay, but wasn't too impressed with the looks. Could you post some photos of the resin when you get it? An option for a nice 356 body would be most welcome."
That body is a copy of the Ninco body with all the accessories molded in. Rixvette on the other forum was selling these for a while.
Anyone care to wager what motor is in this one? NC-5? NC-8? NC-14? My guess is a Ford 427. :lol:
My guess 426 Hemi?? ROTFLMAO!!!
