Oh I've only just gotten a VTA and it is a realistic #42 Cuda by Dan Gurney and Swede Savage.
I'm sorry that it bothers you. I totally disagree, if you ever stage a race you are entitled to require the driver figure to be specific. I think the rules are awesome the way thye are. I realize that there are guys that want everything to be scale and correct livery and everything perfect, but I think that Orange Camaro is the Bomb. I love it just the way it is. Its just a matter of where you like the line to be drawn. Some guys want it all perfectly period correct. Others want it to be completely relaxed. I guess I am in between. I think you should go for the simple paint shemes like Shelby stripes and not more than three colors on one shell. No easter egg paint jobs, but I don't want any new restrictions on the driver.

Still think that rugrat is hilarious.
