So I've been trying to make the P-zero body work for me on higher grip black carpet, but I find its quite a bit twitchy for me. Not being a very good touring car racer, I prefer something a little less downforce, so I can be more consistent. What bodies have worked well for you guys? I have an unpainted ZR1 that I was thinking of trying.

I run medium traction asphalt and I really like the P Zero. But I did run the P Zero along with a lot of other guys at the Hudy race on black carpet in St. Louis. I thought the body was perfect, it was not twitchy. However, if you want less downforce, the body I really like is the McAllister Jaguar. The ZR1 still has plenty of downforce.

The j zero is a much more calm planted version of the p zero, when the car gets edgy I usually switch to that.

If the P-zero is too twitchy for you then don't even paint the ZR1. Plenty of steering but not as much rear bite as the P-zero

Look for a Tamiya Nsx.

The body is a lightweight, but mine painted rattle can white is 117 g. I do have tall wing mounts which probably weigh a little bit.

The NSX is a great body. Just wish it had a better wing that came with it, and just a tad lighter. I stole this wing from a PF LFA.

Just finished my PF C7R body for USGT. Scheme is based off the Larbre Competition C7R.

Any links where I can find good color schemes for the c7? Something other than the usual yellow....

Well would have to look for other series that race a C7 body style. Could search Trans-Am as a few C7s run there. Could look to SCCA T1 or GT1 class which run similar cars. Pratt&Miller are the only ones allowed to run the C7R GTE the protoform body is based off of, and they only ran it in yellow. There’s a company in Europe that makes a GT3 spec C7... Callaway I believe, and it would have run in Blancpain or SRO races in Europe, that’s where the above scheme came from.

Do an internet search for C7 race cars and go to images. It shows a lot of yellow cars, but if you scroll down there is some more variety.
