On my 10th scale high speed project I tried all kinds of bodies. I can safely say that supra, saleen s7, firebird, focus, nsx, and most other kinds of street car bodies are not good over 45mph. My car was very light, and those bodies had hardly any front downforce, even lowered till they touched the ground. I could get up to around 40 and the front would just get light and I would loose it. I finally settled on a lola 200mm nitro body, with the wheel wells not cut out. It had enough downforce that a windy day would cut the top speed down by 5 or 10 mph! Also cause the chassis to scrape the ground, shock limiters are a must! Plenty of traction at 75mph. I could drift it with complete control at 50mph too. excelllent body for straight line speed. I also made some side body posts to keep the flex to a minimun. Only issue was the lack of air low unpder the body. I put a fan on the mm and it was fine.
