    Yea, it would seem to seriously cut down on the grocery carrying capacity. :)

    I believe the Porsche 914k was ~37inches high and the 906 was 38.6
    I'll have to look for the pictures, but I know I've seen pictures of them driving on public roads, in traffic.

    I think somebody ran over that Volvo with a steamroller! I hope the guy wasn't driving it when it happened, or else he'll be looking like Mini-Me.

    The lowest fixed roof production car that I know of (not racing cars that are run on the street or convertibles, which you can stick your head out of), it's a tie between the Bizzarrini GT (1966-1971) and the Saleen S7, both at 41 inches... The Miura SV is close at 41.3, The original GT40 was actually 40.5 inches tall, which is probably the lowest limited production street car (50 examples)... Other really low cars that I can think of off hand, like the Europa (42 inches) are all a bit taller..... There are obviously racing cars in the sub 40 inch category, like the above mentioned 906 Porsche and the P4 (at 39.4 inches), and lower stuff if you count open cars, but if your head is sticking out over the windshield, you kinda gotta measure the top of the drivers head to compare....

    "Virtually all magazines and books on the Countach list the height at 42.0 inches. No one measured these; I actually doubt that ANY of the models are 42.0 inches. My car is 40.9 inches. Many of the Series 2 cars were certainly higher by 1-2 inches. Not sure about the LP400 cars as they sat on 14 inch rims with high sidewall tires; unlikely that they were 42.0 inches either."
