Yo Matt,

Here's my findings between the 2 bodies...

The Alfa has a wider nose and no rear lip spoiler. It seems to have a little more steering, but stability is lacking compared to the Mohawk.

The Mohawk has broader shoulders around the greenhouse and the lip spoiler. The biggest thing with the Mohawk is the added stability. You can generate mechanical steering and the body helps keep the car in check.

All in all, the Mohawk just makes the car easier to drive, yet not lose too much aggressiveness.

As for Lightweight vs. Regular weight, I'm still up in the air about this. It didn't make a difference for me at SnowBirds.
