As mentioned already F430 but just to emphasize the GT versions as the street versions is slower. If you wanna go for max handling performance you'll need to not only shave the inside of rear wheel wells but also raise them (bigger hole towards top) to accommodate +2 offset wheels in the rear and run +1 in the front. if you're not feeling the bigger rear wheel wells then just use +1's but use 0 offset fronts instead.

the f430gt and f360gtc are arguably the two best 94mm bodies. These are full race prepped with lexan windows.

looks good, nice and flat with a proper amount of clearance. I always prefer slightly too much clearance over too little.

2 upgrades in 2 races. Somebody slow me down. I’ll stay with the stock friction shock for at least this weekend. I can also use the oil filled shock, which I’ve had for few months. But chose not to use yet.

So I understand that the Ferrari 430 GT & 360 GTC are the best 94mm for racing, what about 98mm or 102mm? I don’t have any LM setup yet but I would like to try.

I also like the new Honda NSX for stock class racing on smaller tracks. But, dont see many people with it.

EMU if your looking for performance skip the trouble with the long tail Mclren...a fast driver in our club bought it for the looks after he broke his 12c to only park it after using it once in a race where the car did horrible with the body being the only variable...just sayin.
98mm: (pretty much in this order)
McLaren 12c specially in stock...SS or mod can be fast but not for all driving styles.
Jomurema GT01 - for mod this was fastest for me than any other (almost a game changer) / best results with lexan roof
older Audi R8 - really good in super stock / edgier than 599 & Mosler but also faster.
599 always a good bet for an easy driving body stock-SS-Mod
TRP Mosler - another easy to drive and fast body / this one for sure need sthe lexan roof to be in 5th position on this chart
102mm: the ranking I have to leave it for others with more experience but a lightened 962 with the shorter wing got me to first place in a 90 minute LM enduro race.

Mugler, I will bring the big mac to the race to have the option. No harm in that. I have seen it perform very well years ago, and was unstoppable in modified in the hands of one of our local fast drivers. I think he went close to 10 races without a loss.
it definitely is not as nimble as other bodies, and but it carries speed well through the corners. Definitely not the best option for stock, but one that I think can perform well with a good setup under it in super stock dependent on layout.
I do need to get my hands on a bar of soap, I mean jomurema body with lexan roof. Short overhangs make it agile, and it looks like it won't hang up on the boards at all. My personal opinion is that it does not belong in the GT classes because it does not represent a real car, but that's a different topic.
102mm, mazda has the most entrance steering. Sauber is best balance and most durable. Porsche KH has best power application and decent balance. Porsche LH is sluggish and pushy. Toyota carves up the track, maintains momentum well but heaviest in the class.
