Gr5 was top of the line in the 70's, that's half a century ago. As such so are the car models and their scaled down Slotcar bodies.
Most of the Gr5 cars were basically touring cars with monstrously flared wheel arches, "silhouette" Tech rules implied that roofline and windows must maintain original from.
As such most of Gr5 cars are higher than current GT3 cars.
On the Slotrace Technical side both the Huracan and the M6 have "slotted" chassis. The intention of these is to create a form of adjustable flex in the chassis.
Although stock chassis "just" have open slots...its a plug & play set up to mount some form of spring or retainer nuts to stiffen or loosen the flex of the chassis to reduce or increase grip.
With kind regards

Savage was talking comparative price of two slot cars. - Nothing to do with the era the models reproduce.
Therefore I took his comment to mean that the GT3 cars are technically superior to the Group 5 cars, so the Group 5 models should be cheaper
Hence my query
I'm pretty familiar with the actual cars, I have watched them race
Savage ?
