HAWT. I dig it. I never really liked the vert, but red looks good on the verts, and the white verts. Props man. Got any old shots of the engine bay, before and afters?

no trunklid, no top... im guessin the interior was stripped for weight savings... when i first looked at it, i thought it was wierd, but the more i stare, the more i like. i have a red vert, but for now its my daily driver, so i need the little amenities such as a roof and decklid.
The weight savings you gain by taking the lid off... dont you lose again in air drag and wind resistance? Id think so, especially at highway speeds or greater. I dunno |

I dunno The chasiss has to be reinforced to compensate for the lack of a steel roof so it will usually add 300 to 400 pounds as compared to a coupe version of the same model car. If I wanted to cut down on weight I would buy a coupe https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub... |
