Fyi the Pzero was never designed to be 'lightweight'. I actually specified the material must not be thin/lightweight for production because I wanted a long lasting shell. I have always been a fan of the old discontinued HPI NSX and other sadly discontinued HPI bodies so we wanted something similar to HPI's performance and race weight which was more acceptable than compared to Tamiya 'standard' bodies.
My multi color painted PZero weighs about 96gr with standard hardware and body foam. To discourage 1 color 'ghost' paint jobs I would not be opposed to a 100gr weight minimum for bodies, so long as people can add weight directly to the shell if they need it. Just throwing that out there...

Finally got some long body posts!
ABC Goose long body posts. I lucked out and these are a direct fit for my VBC cars.
Tamiya GT3 Porsche. Darn thing is super narrow in the front and has a super short wheelbase. I narrowed the arms in the front as much as possible and still had to buy 3.5mm width hexes. In the rear it's spaced out with 8mm hexes, and the arms moved all the way out. The wheelbase is as short as the car will allow, and it's still way to long for the bodies molded wheel wells.

i have run that body before in USGT. Handles decently. I recommend using this wing with it,

I use Tamiya chassis, which gives you more wheelbase options as well as front width. I still ended up cutting rear arches for clearance
just got my zr1
