Probably a bit late posting here but better late than never I suppose.

 As mentioned previously the E type was a comparatively long narrow car. The body also bulges out along the centre line which means that track is considerably narrower than the overall body width. My only experience is racing on wood tracks and everyone I know who has tried to race a ready to run E Type on a wood track has not had much luck with getting it to go well mainly because of the narrow rear track.
  
 If you want to run on a wood track George Turner's kits would be your best option. If you scale all the dimensions of any car exactly the model doesn't look right so George does tend to make his cars a bit wider than scale to improve the look and this will also improve the handling.

 Of course if you are racing on plastic track it could be that some of the ready to run models work OK particularly if you are using magnets but it does depend on your expectations and I suspect that non-magnet one of George's kits built carefully would still be faster than any of the ready to run cars.
