You mean batchbox cars?
The smallest I own is my 1:43 '06 Williams Showcar :o. Good for sitting on computer monitors and stereos.

Hotworks Racing is about the only one that make D1 diecast cars.

They have all the well known cars in scales 1:24th and 1:64th.
Nissan 350z (orc)
Nissan S15 (Kei Office, HKS, Top Secret)
Nissan Skyline ER34 (Blitz)
Mazda RX-7 (Apex, RE-Amemiya)
Toyota AE86 (Sift)

Aoshima produce D1 cars in scale 1:43th.

JadaToys also has some driftcars, but they don't exist in real life.

I have around 800-900 die cast cars that I've collected over the years.

Mostly the Hotwheels cars, but still they're die cast and in very good condition.

I dont think I'd ever spend 80-100 dollars on a car you can't drive. O_O I'd only pay like $5 at the MOST for a model car. =\

It doesn't fold up. Not easily, anyway. You have to untie everything, disassemble the booms (which don't actually fit on the truck when it's disassembled)... Yeah, not fun.

An enzo in 1:16th :? [-X
You should buy diecast cars in 1:18th or 1:43th.
You can buy a Ferrari Enzo from Hotwheels between €30 -> €40.
If you go for the Hotwheels Elite version (better quality/details), the price will be around €60 -> €70.
Or if you want the best in 1:18th, you need to look for the Enzo by BBR, prices from €240. :o

Thanks for the link, mm. Went browsing around through there, and from what I can tell, Auto Art makes some really nice models. :) Specifically the NSX JGTC. =P~
