As far as a few initial thoughts, the engine has great detail, runs smooth & silent (with no motor or gear noise) and has great sound and smoke output. The smoke output is astounding! It's very thick and has great velocity. The engine has a very rugged, solid and high quality feel. The connecting rods are all metal as is used on the Challenger.
It is with this engine that you may really notice the size difference in the 1:32 scale.
Overall, it was a good purchase and am glad to have it in the roster.
