Mule, it's so much fun to find them in the store; you're right about which ones are which, i just got it home and ripped the package open like a little kid on Christmas morning... | ||

DES, The Enzo and yellow 360 are 'Tooned Hot Wheels (as in "Cartooned"), standard size card, First Editions. The larger red one is Hot Wheels Hot Tunerz. Larger card, plastic base in the package. The tough one to find is the larger Yellow 360 Hot Tunerz shown on the back of the card. Look on Ebay for the 'Tooned cars. Many sold in sets. | ||

Well, George, i found the 360 you posted a picture of - actually, i found one yellow one, an even bigger red one and a little "Bling" Lotus Esprit with some very big rear wheels... Still no sighting of the "tuned" Enzo, though... | ||

Now George that was an amazing bit of ass coverage there. You wouldn't want to p off someone who could mess with you so much?? They do great work from everything I have heard and anyone with that GTO twin turbo in their shop would not take a "Souped up Ferrari joke the wrong way. for display... Hell they probably have something on the go on the real thing. | ||

I figured that not everyone would like them, but they are kinda cool in their own way. Would I ever dream of doing this to one? No. Are they something to add to my collection for sh*ts & grins? Yes. BTW, I found a few of them (4 or 5, I think). In the spirit of things, anyone that wants one (& can't find them), send me your address & I'll send you one. First come, first served; no charge. God, I always wanted to give away free Enzos. I even have a stash of the "true" Enzo Hot Wheels for those that have not found those either. (all are 1:64th scale) LMK Also, I did not mean any disrespect towards Norwood Ferrari regarding these. I know they soup-up Ferraris and my comparison was only meant in jest. James and company have helped me out one more than one occassion. Heck, I'll drop them by a pair for their display case. | ||

Another ressemblance is that she would go faster rolling rather than walking ! | ||

Maybe that 360 is just "big boned"  Does anyone else see a resemblence?  | ||

LOL, Marcus... i'll concede and admit that i'm shamelessly defending a tiny model of a car i lust after and that they probably could have done a better job making them, however the whole point of the toy is for it to be 'tuned' it's supposed to look even more beefy than it already is... Best believe i'll be picking one up if i see one...  | ||

wow, I certainly respect those that like what they've done with the design--but I'd go out on a limb and say these represent the -opposite- of Ferrari's design philosophy, or Pininfarina's design philosophy...so uhhh--realizing that it's perfectly fine to be on the other side...these toonerz are bleh! | ||

I know they are tiny but all i can think is what an old farmer told me one time "you can't polish a turd.." Sorry they don't do a thing for me | ||

I'm not sure if anybody has run across these as they just hit the shelves. Hot Wheels has a line of "supped-up" cars called "'toonerz". They "jazzed-up" an Enzo and a 360 Challenge car. Here are some pics:  |
