Default First GT body or muscle car?

I am looking for a body shell for scale spec class. It can be a classic muscle car or a GT. Can somebody please suggest some models?

Also does it have to be a 200mm ?

I drive a TC6.1 1/10th scale.

Thanks in advance.

It doesn't have to be 200mm unless your rules require it. As for which style you should go for, that's up to you, which do you like better? Unless it's a fast spec class the body really isn't going to make that much difference. At least not enough that you couldn't fix with chassis tuning.

I prefer the HPI Porsche 911 Turbo. Good rear wing, low, light, handles great.

Classic muscle? Check out the VTA bodies by HPI. They have vettes, mustangs and mopars. Old and new.

USVTA is pretty specific on what bodies you can run. Its actually my favorite part of the class though

Here is a link to the website and rules. You will find a list of the allowable bodies within this list:

Looks wise I have started liking the Chevy Camaro, with the yellow and black strip pattern
