I LOVE the look of the Mustang and the Camero - they look very scale, especially with those wheels. Anyone know what the wheelbase and the track of those cars is? I'm guessing its 200mm wide with about a 255mm wheelbase to fit touring car chassis?

Actually was looking up the vintage wheels which look really nice too and it seems HPI have thought of everything [8D]. The vintage wheels come in different finishes, offsets and different diameters so it should be possible to fit the wheels and the bodies to Tamiya chassis. They have even come up with a set of special vintage looking tyres with taller shoulders to complete the look - prices don't look half bad either.

Of course with these cars you would HAVE to run them on a RWD chassis for the full effect [;)]. I feel another heavily modded M-04 RWD project coming on..... hehe, a few chassis spacers, some TG10 wider axle stubs and we'll be there. I fancy a Bullitt styled Mustang for starters, with maybe one of those Camero shells as a spare in a nice Rockford files 70's gold..... mmmmmmmmmmm, luuuuvvvverly, now where did I put those flares.....

Yes they are all 200mm wide, but the 31mm wide rears should have enough offset so they look right on standard touring car chassis.
