Dale will have to say for sure, but I'm willing to bet it would be either the High Downforce Monte Carlo or the new High Downforce Charger.

New Charger has more front downforce than any other Protoform body...

Im pretty sure the Charger has the most front downforce, then the Monti. The Monti Is still an awesome body & prolly a little easier to obtain currenty. :thumbsup: I ran on a 125ft runline track last weekend & had great results with the intrepid MD. So which ever protoform body you choose they all work great.

Okay, Im not gonna go into the method I use but, the Charger and the Monti HD are very close in the FRONT.Both produce the same right front down force numbers but the left front on the Charger creates 1/2 ounce more down pressure than the Monti. Just my 2 pennies of info.

Well, no "windtunnel" here, but I had more LF wear at my weekly track with the Charger, not sure if it is a 1/2 oz or not, 180 ft runline track.

Im curious then.... On the track my car seems LESS AGGRESSIVE going in than with my MC HD..If the body has MORE front downforce then why does the car feel this way.. Im not the only one to observe the less aggressive feel of the body...Im not saying that its bad...actually I like the charger body.. But Im just curious if my feel for the body is incorrect..and that maybe the body is changing where weight is applied thus making me think there is less up front????

If your car is set up for a Monti & you put a charger on it with the same chassis set up the car will feel more stable & turn in harder but will be a little too stuck center off. IMO the charger body requires a stiffer RR side spring than the monti, and a stiffer LF spring. :thumbsup:

Someday we will find out if the PF Charger or the HD Monte has more downforce. We are still waiting to see the new Charger come out. I have been running the Mcallister Charger and it has more than downforce on the front but is still really stable through the corner.
