Status: offline 		LMAO!!! You should have seen my car when I once passed over a curb at the track at flank speed and the car became like an ice scater performing triple loop!!! LOL If there's wasn't for the body it would really have put my hands deep in my pockets for repairs...

Looks better, protects car

However no body= less wind drag, better engine cooling

I still always run with body unless tuning etc
