For the models yes but no for the engines but @ $25 000 one model we could expect amazing prices for them too

I don't care how nice it is, I wouldn't even consider paying that amount of money for a model. Sure, they're fancy, but there is no difference to me between one that I could build in 1:24 and that big 1:3 other than size. If it ran, that would be a different story... and his "Making the engine run is just a gimmick, this is mechanical art!" explanation is hokey. To spend that much money, time, effort into building a model and not make it run is just silly. It would be just a slight increase in cost and engineering to make them work, and as crazy as this may sound, that just makes me think he's not as bad ass as he thinks. Wow, that came off harsh...

I wouldn't pay that price for any kind of model too (i'd buy a real car !), but if i'd find one under the christmas tree i'd jump to the roof !

no... it actually sounds quite sane. +1

but definately, the 1:3 engines are sweet. (just not to the extent I would lay out that kinda cash unless I was in the Bill Gates realm financially. and then MAYBE)

When you are in Bill Gates realm, why settle for 1/3 scale? You can probably have a f1-2004 engine sitting in your living room.
