Oh, never read that. Learn something new every day. I'll just run my b5 stock for a while, it seems as it will be spot on with durability, they have replaced all of the flukes with the b5 that were on the b4 for the most part.

Potato potahtoe.
U dislike the bulldog body and some if us detest the hideousness of the finnisher bodies.
The 44.2 body makes it look like and old lady with a square ass. REALLY kills the look of the car IMPO. Cab forward bodies are the current trend and some are well done but most are made just to feed the market with something different. Many claim aero improvements and very few deliver. Without the aide of fancy wind tunnel testing (which I'm confident almost no manufacturers use) common aero knowledge clearly shows that the older bodies offered superior aero in that they covered the air dams that are shock towers, with an aero efficient cover sweeping air past the shock towers smoothly, which then transitioned right into the wing.
Cab forward bodies are arro efficient up front and do a decent job of sweeping air right along to the rear of the body, but with literally no up sweep, the air runs right into the shock tower which immediately disrupts the airflow and actually sends it outward in every direction and less air is transferred directly onto the wing compared to the rear cab bodies. In all, this is merely the current trend and eventually someone might produce a body that's a happy medium with all the pluses and very few of the minuses.

back on topic
Think the alloy steering arms extra weight will be usefull for the rear motor but the plastic may prove to be the best choice for the mid motor.

I personally like the cab forward looking bodies better.
