    Thinking about buying one of the 1:12ths cars and wanted to hear what some of you thought first.
    I really like the Enzo in 1:12 but that GTO looks really good. What do you like better (owners)?

    I have both, and like both alot. If I HAD to pick, I'd pick the GTO. My favorite 1:12 is still my Kyosho F40 "Light weight" though.

    I'm a 288 GTO guy all the way, but this is really to do with your personal likes, not mine.

    It's a TOUGH choice to have to make... I think I favor the GTO more than my Enzo, by just a hair. Also the pop-up headlights are super slick (when you push the outer lower light, it pops up for that side.) Another thing I like about the GTO over the Enzo is the assembly, much less drama with the GTO (no rear hatch issue, like on some Enzos.)

    If you do go with the Enzo, I'd get the Tamiya, not the Kyosho. While the Kyosho is diecast, the level of detail just isn't up to Tamiya, IMO. Some will decry the non-diecast body on the Tamiya because it's "too light" - but how often are you going to hold it anyway?

    Short version: Buy the GTO, unless you want the Enzo - in which case, buy the Tamiya.

    It might be easier to find a GTO instead of an Enzo. If you can, get them both.

    I have both and I must say that I just love the GTO. The stance and detail are spot on. I have the Tamiya Enzo and when cleaning it the duster got caught in the mesh on the rear hatch and pulled the hatch completley off!! But I suppose that was my fault!

    Thanks for the info everyone. I'm going to go with the GTO.
    I held back on getting one of these because of the price, but I figured what the hell go for it!
