    Every day I see countless 'renderings' and Photoshop design proposals on Facebook and Instagram of 2 seaters. After awhile, they all begin to look similar.
    This one however looks unique IMHO. I like it from just a photo.
    Unfortunately, the rear end profile is the antithesis of functional aero, but so what I say. That aero stuff isn't functional at speeds below 70-80 MPH.
    It looks cool! :eek::rolleyes:


    1985 HP?!! Seriously?

    The front third looks so HEAVY that it almost comes across as FWD, and I don't really feel any connection between it and the rear 2/3ds, the antithisis of "coke bottle" if you will.

    It reminds me of the Olds Toros that were converted to tow vehicles at seaplane terminals....

    The rear gives it a hyper-boxster feel, which i dig.

    I think the point John was trying to make is that they all blur into something like this.

    Really, no kidding. That’s what happens when you use a grille (!!) as a bumper.

    Looks like a 1998 Porsche GT1 race car. The racecar looked better because it had a square tail and graphics.
