Hello guys we are doing a mainline Hot Wheels feature race at our November 11th club meeting. I wanted to throw this out to some of you to see what you thought might be the fastest out of the most recent Hot Wheels castings on the pegs. This is a stock race so basically these cars will be racing right out of the blister packs. I was told the Nissan Titan might be fast or maybe the Dodge Challenger Drift Car with FTE2 wheels. Let me here what you guys think on here!

For me, the green BMW 2002. I have 2. One is in the middleweight challenge and the other was right on its tail in qualifying.

I thought the Nissan Titan was 2013, or maybe it doesn't matter, as they're on the pegs now too

For me, the following are pretty fast
'81 Camaro
458 Spider
Nerve Hammer
'71 Ford Maverick Grabber

Here are the complete standings for cars from the Fantasy League: http://www.redlinederby.com/fantasy/car-rankings.php

For the most part, the ratings reflect only my track - only in the past two seasons have there been more host racing. Nonetheless, I don't think anyone will argue that the cars in the Top 20 are all fast machines.

We have raced many, many of the 2012 cars. Here are ours.

67 Shelby GT500 (Wife just won a "rookie" race with this one beating out close to 100 cars on a 50 foot track)
Ford GTX1-FTE
Synkro
Retro Active
Eagle Massa
Custom 69 Chevy Pickup
Bone Shaker
2011 Vette Grand Sport
2010 Ford Shelby GT-500 Super Snake FTE
81 Camaro
Nerve Hammer-Not my fastest but has won multiple times in our league races.

That red hypertruck was total failure for me.

Really? Mines a stud! Keeps up with all my fastest cars

Yeah, I thought maybe it was just too light. I added clay in the truck bed to make it 57 grams and test with the Middleweights and Sportsman cars, it was the slowest of all, but by that point I think the balance was all messed up.

Funny, some of the cars mentioned above, I bought and never raced but ended up taking parts to make other cars fast. I may have put the cart before the horse...especially since hardly any cars I build go any faster.

I bought one hypertruck and it barley made it down the 50 foot league track. What a dissapointment. I did buy another but haven't opened it yet to see if it is any better.
