I need some help on what kind of car I saw today on my way home from work. I was driving down route 47 and I see this really low yellow car...really exotic looking. It had a pretty tall wing. It looked to be a 2-seater. I know that it wasn't some sort of Lambo or Ferrari, it was too small and the front was way different. I know there was a car show somewhere around because I couldn't go a 1/4 mile without seeing an old muscle car. Thanks for any help.

Your description made me think of a Lotus Esprit

Not either of those...looked more lightwieght, like there was nothing to it. At first I thought it was one of those Mosler things but I think it was a little too small for that. Looked low like and F-1 car.

Nah wasn't one of those. It was much lower and seemed wider. It has this huge F-1 style wing on the back. I know my cars pretty good so this has got to be somthing kinda rare.

It looked a little like this Dauer (http://www.fast-autos.net/dauer/dauer962.html) thing, but more extreme. With a little of a Marcos LM600 (http://www.fast-autos.net/marcos/marcoslm600.html) I can see this car so clearly in my head...I wish I could draw.

There is a Westfield that looks a bit like that, but I cant remember the name of it. I'll keep looking, but its not like the normal Westfields (e.g Lotus 7 inspired) it has a full body, and a huge spoiler...

I will consult my library of car info and see what I can dig up.

Wasn't this was it? It can be painted any colour the owner so wishes, so ignore the livery.

it might have been one of those Westfield things. I didn't know that they made those in the US.

I very much doubt they do, but as the Suzuki engine complies to the US emmisions regulations, then they are probable imported by a minority of people.
