What 2 door body?
We run a GT touring car series at my local track over the winter. Being GT, we have to run a 2 door body. Last year I ran a 190mm Protoform C5 Corvette. It wasn't bad, but want to run something else. Anybody have any suggestions. Believe me, if I could, I'd be running a real race body.

I think the NSX is probably a pretty aerodynamic 2 door body. HPI makes an NSX with a big wing, I think. So does Tamiya.

the old HPI NSX actually was pretty good, if you ran the big ass wing on it. If you compare it to like a ride accord, you see some similarities (tiny greenhouse, big flat surface in the trunk area etc)
Oh also, the Protoform Vauxhall Astra was supposed to be good too. Might be worth a try.

The Vauxhall was good. Blast from the past

Pardon, could some guy tell what does mean "production 2 door"?Maybe you mean replica from "exotic road cars", because you said your body it's C5, i think these 3 i referred before are still acceptable, at least "mr2" exist in all of highway of the world. Otherwise your own club have his particular body homologation, there will be different.

What about like a Castrol Tom's Supra, or Calsonic Skyline? I like those two bodies for their shape, but I know nothing about how they drive
