Only if that's how you choose to be. Some prefer to go to the track to have fun racing with each other with cars that look cool, even if we're a little off Reinhard's pace...

Well either Walmart needs to build a 1:10 store or the big three need to produce a 1:1 LTC-R for me.

I guess "realistic" is in the eyes of the beholder. I think that the current cars look great and they perform well.We have a few driver's that choose to run the Lotus, Skyline and Dodge Charger bodies. They do quite well in the C-main. I choose to RACE competitively and I'm not willing to sacrifice 2 laps to the leaders just to have a car that "looks" like something I saw on TV. I'm not hatin' on those who prefer the "realistic" bodies, I just don't see the point in slowing cars down with inferior handling shells all for the sake of looks. There are too many great painters out there to help with that department.
