There was a post about bodies a few pages back (I'm trying to catch up after being out)...there is nothing wrong with the Protoform Speed 8, even though people like to think differently. Mine works well. It might not have the downforce that the parma body has, but it doesn't have the aero drag, either. Remember, downforce=drag.
Almost forgot to post: If you're a rookie to racing and need a body to last through the many hard crashes it takes to learn, then go for the regular body. If you're not a newbie, then the light one is the way to go.
