I'd like to see the lines of the car w/ the hatch closed, the cut across the top of the windshield should follow thewindshield curve imho, and I think for appearance and safety there should be some bars across the opening. That's just me though. Interesting at least.

As well as randomly placed decals in multiple colors. Decals all over were barely cool in the 90s.

Colors aside, I think it's badass. Would prob look sick on a 350z.

They are actually changing a few things up now. I've driven the car plenty of times and would track the heck out of it. The handling is still there and the Stillen supercharger feels pretty dang good. The interior is prob going back to factory leathers(Amy's decision). This car was built for Amy who has MS. The vehicle is Amy and her husband Dean's memory car. So far they've driven it to Sema for display and most recently went to Florida for The Run. We should be able to post dyno number later next week after a smaller pulley and 93 octane tune.

i also think a 350 is a better candidate for this, the proportions of the opening are awkward at best ! The roll hoop still won't prevent the windshield from slamming down in the event of a roll.. doesn't seem safe to me!
