Fenders look nice! The lights there might be perfect. Give you the minimum height requirement for headlights which I believe is 22"

<1,600 pounds, 600 horsepower, and zero downforce?
You're a mad man Wongburger! Also, would it be possible to make it more phallic shaped? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |

Cool concept, I like it. I have thought having a can am car for the street would be fun. Like a 917/30 or McLaren m8 but with 2 seats. John |

Why fabre glas body? Why not aluminum? I could bang that out in aluminum. You could paint part of the body and polish the rest of it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/assimilate.gif)
You could always do a vintage headlight station like the hot rod guys use only make it wing shaped and use a modern shape for the light. I never liked the fenders on any of the 7's. They look like such an afterthought. |

Right. And 24" in some states. > a vintage headlight station like the hot rod guys use I'm not sure what you mean by that... ? > I never liked the fenders on any of the 7's I agree, but it is going to be needed to make it street legal. -Steve |

I'd call around to the hot rod shops and see if you can find the regulations. You may be a little low on the windshield too.
Mid engine should have enough weight to put the power down. As much as I like the V8, how much less weight is a turbo Suby? |

Nice-looking, and recalling that it's 105" wheelbase, I'm intrigued. I would want to see the chassis/structural design before judging your choice of engine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
