So there's this lady in the same building as me right.
And she's one of these "the would bows to me types". She's got a 350Z and yesterday (because it was nice and we both had topless convertables in the parking lot) we start talking about convertables. Turns out that her cars better than mine because it's aerodynamically designed to keep the air off of her. (Which isn't suprising because everything she has is better than everyone elses.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) ) Meanwhile, the back of my neck still has frostbite on it and I get to thinking. What if I could retract the rear window? Viola no more deflected air! Anybody ever tried it? Theoritically possible? Bryce |

The 914 definitely has a problem with wind hitting the rear window and then hitting you in the back of the head. Drive a 914 and then drive a 911 targa - you'll notice the HUGE difference in wind force exerted on you because the wind has somewhere to go on the 911. A removable/lowerable window 914 would be cool. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
