Best handling bodies?
After racing almost all the different body types, it seems that some definitely handle better than others. I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same experience. So far the best handling bodies are the Honda S2000, Mazda RX-7, Nissan 350Z and Honda NSX. The worst are the Toyota Supra and the R32 Skyline, with the others in between. Haven't tried Honda Accord or Bb or VW Beetle. Anyone else have similar or different experience?

my skyline handles better than my supra and my old accord, and my old celica, the lancer handles pretty well also.

Go
i got a beatle with a 3.8 moter in it and it has really good handling, in the skyline history set all the cars have good handling except the silver (i think it was 2000GT because thats what the box it came in said)the 206 has good handling because the front is like the s2000.the wrx handles good. my favourite car would be the beatle b3ecause it is widebody and im a fan of beatles.heres a pic of my beatle(better pis later)

my dropped celica handles pretty well... it's a little too low tho.. suspension is waaayyy bottomed out, and im lookin for springs, but i cant find any >_<"
and waayyy too ground-hugging bump-hitting floor-rubbing low doesnt run as good as it looks.... you hit a tiny littly bump in the floor and ur car bounces waay high up.. and flips over or something

how many tabs have you lowered your car? i added one tab and then cut off the tip and added a second tab giving my car three tabs lowered. (including the stock tab) like how low can you go before it degrades. i shaved alot of my toyota supra and my pullback skyline (which is a sick looking shell if you add a chrome muffler) so far they both turn just fine. i dont car about bumps but how low until it turns badly?

the lowest i had my car was about 0.5 mm, it looks like it was touching the ground but if u put it on a surface and looked at it directly u could see a tiny space between the car and the floor.
it was sick (now my car is broken)

basically if ur running on a mirror-smooth surface, you can get down to barely touching the ground... but turning starts messing up at aboout 1 mm... cuz when you turn the car will shift and end up riding on the body...
mine's lowered basically the same method as yours, but the plastic i used was pretty thick.. so i sanded down the top of the 3rd tab to get it to fit in the body slot

I prefer the fullsize wheel set mod from questformadness.com It looks nicer in my opinion instead of tab lowering.

thinking about it... this really doesnt mean a thing.. cuz everyone's MS/Bit/clone performs differently... unless you all took all ur shells (i know some of you guys have like 100) and tried them out on the same chassis...
nevertheless.... common sense would definitely point out the crappy handling bodies - bB for sure... i cant think of any others
