Mazda 6 from Protoform or HPI Stratus are also good racing bodies.

If you're going drag racing, you should be fine. Otherwise, turning those fronts might be an issue!

you wont get any down force. i was running a '06 mustang body on mine for a while. and that was tough.you could also ask newguy how much a body matters. he had a nascar body on his ntc3 and i let him try the enzo body, huge difference.
i put one of those 3.3 in my jato. its very hard to keep that thing on the ground.

Thats crazy fast. Lola T-530 body will provide the most downforce and is an outlaw class body for 1/10th scale. Now if the 3.3 qualifies then run it at the track. I think with that kind of power your gonna want a body with ample downforce. I am planning on getting the protoform vette body for my R40. I like the way it looks and it doesnt seem like alot of people are using it for a lid.

If you are racing a Nitro or Electric TC there are really only 2 bodies I would recommened.
Stratus or Mazda6 styles.
Someone mentioned the G6...that's more of an indoor foam tire body to compete vs. the Parma Alfa.

No competition for this car, it'll just be a high speed basher. I'll probably look for places like the stretch of seal coated asphalt behind the St. Charles store to run the car. When I had the car running a couple of years ago I just ran it like a Bonneville or Maxon (SP?) "land speed" car with occasional bouts of powersliding thrown in for grins.

We've got a few sitting over here at StC too, but I may have to put that on hold now. Dad and I were working on my Jeep yesterday and as Dad was swapping on new front brake pads he noticed the LF tie rod end boot was torn so I need to replace those first. I'll still send in the Pro.15 for an ERP though.
