Protoform DNA, Parma Alfa, or Parma Mohawk. All good choices.

Unless you are going to run Rubber, then the Mazdaspeed 6 or regular 6. But really, you probably wont even notice the difference.

No need to change bodies. The Speed 6 is fine for PT.

What's the difference between a foam car body or a rubber one? Weight?

mostly it is just the amount of downforce and how it effects the handling of the car. Rubber tire bodies tend to have that lip in the front to add more front downforce and greater steering and Carpet have greater rear downforce? At least thats how it was explained to me...

Down force. A carpet body has less and a asphalt body has more.

Then the Protoform Mazda 6 or Speed 6 is the body for you!!

Let me know if you need one. I'll sell you a brand new PF Mazda 6 body CHEAP!!

Also FOAM Carpet Bodies(Alfa, Mohawk, DNA) have a much lower profile than other sedan bodies. They sit much lower and are narrower all the way around.
