The cars are all the same, stock. If you have the stage 2 motors, try getting IC-3 batteries. They will give you a ton of extra torque and speed vs. alkalines or other rechargeable batteries. As far as household items, if you get IC-3 batteries with a stage 2 motor, you will need to superglue or silicone adhesive your tires to the rims or they will fly off.

How well your car is screwed together will have a bigger impact on speed than the weight difference between body styles. I have the Supra, and it has held up well to severe punishment. The Skyline looks like it would have the most room to add more cells inside the body, if that's your thang.

Does regular tire glue, like the stuff you use on nitro cars work?

Oh, I just thought of this. Use super glue that has a solvent pack with it. Then you can remove the tires w/o killing them. I also heard that RS is coming out with a Lightning (for you aussie guys, it's kind of like a big pickup with the Pursuit/Falcon GT/GT-P motor).
