Aerodynamics play a huge part not only in the way the car runs on the ground, but over rough terrain and when in flight, and the entire design is a factor, the body itself in many cases designed for positive aerodynamic influence.

Swapping out bodies can immediately alter the way a car handles in many different areas......
