Thats why I was saying "between".
RC trucks are usually .40 the GT class is a little lighter

The Kyosho 1/8 on-road bodies are 0.8mm (about .030) for the lightweight version and 1.0mm (about .040) for the standard version. I would think because of the size and weight of a GT car, that you wouldn't want to use less than .040 Lexan.
