Scalextric Ford Mustang GT3 Daytona Slot Car vs Scalextric Shelby Cobra 289 Slot Car

Both are 1/32 Scalextric analog cars with Magnatraction, easy-change pick-ups and working lights, so the choice comes down to which car you want on the track. The Mustang GT3 is the newer tooling with a modern GT3 body, Digital Plug Ready for a C7005 upgrade, and a four-driver Daytona livery. The Cobra 289 is a classic roadster with a simpler shape and a single-driver Goodwood entry. Owners of both report the same Scalextric running gear, so durability is comparable. Pick the Mustang for digital-ready modern racing; pick the Cobra for classic looks.

• Choose the Scalextric Ford Mustang GT3 if you want a current GT3 racer, plan to add digital later via DPR, or like the Daytona 24h livery.
• Choose the Scalextric Shelby Cobra 289 if you prefer a classic open-top roadster and don't need a digital upgrade path.
