Well, keep her long, but, come on, she needs to lose a half a foot between the door and rear tire well, at least

You know what? Screw cutting it down! Just use all that extra room to stick another L67 in the back!

Nice Photochop, but unlike u guys I don't htink it would sell. The SSEi was already about $32k, and that would need A LOT OF CHANGE just to be a convertable. The body would need to be reinforced, a ragtop setup made, etc etc.... All of those tooling costs would have to be picked up by the model. Think $40k

People who want a roadster want one that'* not 4000lbs, and one that'* rwd.

Make the doors longer, and make the rear a lil different.... I'd do it but i'm too lazy to get on my machine with PS.

I have PaintShopPro7 on my box...I never have gotten used to Photoshop maybe some day...I did lengthen the door just a bit but I wanted to keep the "long look"....much like the Italian sport cars...personally I would love a mid-engine version packing a supercharged NorthStar...an American Ferrari Eater!
