What I meant by this is that width:length:height are in the same proportions
as the dimensions of the actual vehicle.

I don't know what you mean by scale based on wheel base...but I have built
models based on the size of available LEGO wheels...

I don't understand what you mean by 1:1...The 5571 is not life size, at
least not for me :) When I say that my Diablo[1] model is 1:15 +- 5% scale,
I mean that if you multiplied each dimension by 15, the LEGO model would be
the same size as a real Lamborghini Diablo. Similarly, my Hummer[2] and
Dodge Viper[3] are 1:30 +- 10% scale.
Hope that clears things up...
