Hey everybody, I am going to the 2005 International Indoor Championships @ Las Vegas , but I am not a carpet regular. What body, the stratus 3.0 C-type or the parma alfa, would be better? Thanks for any advise.

oh,if it matters I will be running stock foam with an RDX.

what is the difference?

I'm not sure about the RDX since I run an FK05, but I douby that you could go wrong with the Proline Mazda 6 unless you have your chassis setup for a very loose rear end.

If your on Foam the only body to run is the Parma Alfa. Mazda 6 is way too much downforce for foams and Stratus 3.0 still doesnt rotate as well as Parma Alfa. It's close though.

This should be a good indication of what everyone is running...

At the 2005 Novak Touring Car Championships 29 of 30 A main cars were running the Parma Alfa.

Actually I'd like to know more about thee new Stratus 3.0 carpet. I know the Parma is the way to go, but being so new I'd like to hear about the Stratus. Any one with lots of experience with it?

So is the Parma Alfa a bad idea for rubber on carpet or will it still be a pretty neutral body? I hope it is ok for I just bought two of them!! They are unopened, so I could take them back and get something else.

The euros run alot of rubber tire carpet races so I would look at results from their races to see what works good with rubber tires.

Mazda 6, CTS-V or Stratus. I like the Nemesis too.

Ran carpet the first time a couple days ago and it really seems to add front grip to the car. So I run a Mazda 6 now but will be chaging to the Alfa to get rid of some front bite on the carpet.
