The New Fairmont, better, faster?

I found the new Ultra Hots Fairmont today at Target. Straight out of the package it beat my Front Running Fairmont that has graphite on the Gold Hot Ones wheels/axels.

The right lane is my - known to be - faster lane.

Always seems to work that way doesn't it? — Dutch_Clutch_Racing

Sometimes, you luck into a hot runner right from the blister, good find!

I feel this Fairmont will be among the hardest to get on the pegs, introducing this legend to a new generation of racers!

I wanted to post on Redline Derby as soon as I found them in stores....been watching for them to show up on pegs since January. — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
@ Dutch, I live in a City where the sellers are very heavy im sure like most of us on here do.. I do get lucky from time to time.. If I want a car bad enough I look for the free shipping Ebayer and then Make an offer lower then asking price most times I can get a good seller to work with a price im willing to go with. — Desert_Rat_Diecast
I hear you, DR. I just bought 2 on ePay last night for $16. — FeralPatrick

That is a gorgeous casting. Even love the green.

But I'm a sucker for the Ultra wheels

Picked up a set of ultra hots a couple years ago. The 68 Cougar had some speed, the rest were slow. As with any casting; until the axles break in and you lube the wheels you dont know how fast it is. Of course I will be that old guy looking through every bin, rack, peg board... until I get some of these. Hot Wheels is operated by a bunch of sick *#&%^$@ who know exactly how to trigger our BUY NOW impulses.

I stopped at 2 Target stores this morning with the intention of grabbing every Fairmont I could find and sell them to guys on Redline Derby at COST + shipping. Not gouging anyone. Pegs were empty. — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
Im with Dutch on this, I will also keep checking the Target and do cost plus shipping ... Ebay is ridicules on pricing.. But Im willing to help out others where I can.. Ill keep in touch as im stopping by tomorrow to grab that BMW Pace car. — Desert_Rat_Diecast

I actually found the Target not too far from here... I never go up in that direction unless I am heading back to NC. The pegs were next to empty but I found 3 of these! A first for me to ever find anything like that on the pegs... might have to go up there more often!

Awesome! — Dutch_Clutch_Racing

I had a chance to run the new Fairmont last night at the local 20 ft. drag track I go to on Wednesday nights. That Fairmont was burning things up on my 14 ft. track at home but different track = different results. Back end was getting squirrely and hopping around last night. Did not perform well. Was still relatively fast but would end up getting passed by the other lane/car close to the finish line.
