Among the Elite Speed Johnny Lightning cars, there are more Corvette and Camaro's than other makes.
Elite Speed
Top Tier
1969 Chevy Camaro
2004, Street Freaks, Black with Flames 61 grams, Casting #537 Perhaps the most famous racer among the Johnny Lightning cars. This is my fastest non-truck or van JL. An elite speed car that's heavy with great balance. Note that it took me three purchases before I found this one. JL's can be inconsistent. This is also a high demand car that's not cheap. |
High Speed
2nd Tier
Most of the Corvette castings are relatively small, but still fast given decent weight and good wheels.
