Car Shells
Hey people, just wondering if anyone has used either one of these shells and could tell me what u think of them.
Alfa Romeo 2.1
Vauxhall Astra BTCC
I have used the Stratus 2.1 and the Chrysler 300M so far but just want 2 try something different.
Thanx in advance

Alfa 156 v2.1 - really stable, akin to the Stratus original, I did not know it was a Championship winning shell when I bought it. If you were to look at the new shell dimension is it so much like the Stratus.
Vauxhall - might be my next shell ... I love the colours of the BTCC car.

The alpha 2.1 has more initial turn-in and transitions faster than either stratus, and yet it is quite stable unlike the original version of the alpha. I'd suggest it as it works very well, but I still have my stratus bodies with me if I want less turn-in steering, because the Alpha 2.1 can sometimes be too aggressive entering a corner.
And the astra, you need to lop off much of the plastic from the wing mounts or else you'll end up with too much push... or so I felt. Plus the wing mounts cause the wing to look way out of place hanging way above the roofline and subsequently illegal if your track cares about the rules.

HOW about FERRARI MODENA or LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO (no rear spoiler... is it OK?)? are they COOL? i mean stable? or they are good for SHOW OFFs?
