Interesting. Found this on the internets: 

"characteristic dimensions: outside length: 5674 mm / 223.4 in, wheelbase: 3099 mm / 122 in"

223.4 in works out to 9.31 inches in 1/24 scale and 8.94 inches in 1/25 scale.

122 in would be 5.08 inches 1/24 and 4.88 inches 1/25.

thank you! that's cool you know that, now i can finish my build

Glad I could help.  & believe me, I don't know this stuff off the top of my head. There are a few sites where you can convert 1:1 dimensions to scale. Google is a great invention. 

btw would you happen to know the width for the front end i see know mention of it online   the right lengh, i had to stretch it out a bit as it was short so now im lost on the front end bummer thanks

im going the 1/25 route
