chopping an already perfect hypercar

[grantrl78]

S7 convertible
Made it a little less busy.

Looks like an nsx which looks like a ferrari.
Man look at that space between the wheel and the seat!!!!!!
I forgot to mention that this is shaq's car.
And americans can make pretty supercars.

not bad. needs a rollbar

[grantrl78]

jgilley thanx for the reply.
More fun than a roll bar!!!

:/... allrighty then...

[grantrl78]

virtual_starwind you no like my contraption for keeping back the masses
of angry poor who will hate on me for driving around in such an expensive car?
Only grant and corrupt south american dictators can get access to the s-7 machinegun package.
The scary part is that it kind of reminds me of a
gi-joe toy I had when I was little. It buried itself in my sub conscious.
And just popped out.

Here it is again with some serious changes.
Zonda style top.
From the side the zonda looks out of balance.
The cabin is too far forward.
On the s7 body it seems to fit better.
Using photoshop is zen like.
Seriously its fun in a nonstressful kind of way.
I know I am a no car driving joker and my opinion is
not so important but I feel like the new side vent and the bottom of the zonda cabin echo each other in a nice way. It still has that long backside like an s-7
and zonda but together they are better looking from the side.

what happened to GI joe S7?

[grantrl78]

I felt like it was kind of a lame joke.
Maybe a bad idea - some serious choppers might
think I was poking fun at them by making fun of myself.

[Legionofone]

lol... i thought it was cool! i want to make my car into a assault vehicle it doesent matter though... ur chops are ur chops if they piss someone off they dont have to look at it...

[grantrl78]

Assault vehicles are more fun.
When I get enough time and if I can find the right pix I wanna
do a hybrid supercar - fighter.

[assad_l]

I like how you took parts off a few supercars and maintained the supercar look sweet job man.

[grantrl78]

I love how all of the parts are working together.
Ferrari - zonda - saleen. S-7 is my favorite. Just don't like the stock wheels or side vents. I like the saleen cabin though.

In this thread I would say great and cool Idea.

In a performance thread - The S7 is an amazing car but it surely cant be a convertible. A first is cost - it would cost soo much just to brace the car up and replace what sections the coupe braced and evenly distributed the strength through the car so it doesnt warp. The S7 is a "Drivers car" as the mclaren. A convertible would add more weight and would decrease the strenght of the car so badly it would be pitifull. The torque alone would break a convertible in half or atleast warp the chassis. The other thing is you can't access high speeds with a convertible (unless its a hardtop) other wise the downforce would literally crush you. Also you have to think you removing the Key scoop right over the top of the car = less power Dont get me wrong I love the chop. Im just an insane supercar Enthusiast and an even Bigger S7 one. Not for anything I'd Send the pix into saleen because who knows maybe they'd make one for the rich guys who are afraid to go to fast but will pay rediculious amounts to have one lol. You never know. I know the two other cars that are like that are the Clk-GTR and the Zonda C-12s.

[Legionofone]

a sophisticated roll cage would take care of most of the strength problems...

[N2OZeBozz]

I hate convertibles.........they are simply half cars
