Yah, rather top heavy! LOL. Probably is photoshop. Got this off the web. I tried a side view of my crossfire in photoshop to try and duplicate it. But, since my picture is not a perfect straight side view, it came out rather odd LOL. Plus the background in my experiment got squashed too. The picture here looks like a normal background with a squished car. Some people are so clever.

It sort of reminds me of the photo of a shortened VW roadster in "MI ROADSTER's" photo gallery.

Yes, I do think it's clever because it's done evenly if that makes sense. Anyway, the site where I found this had many examples of other cars that were done the same way. I enjoyed it, thought it was fun. I guess i amuse easily.

I'll bet that the side windows don't go down very far in those funny-shaped doors! Also, it looks like the rear tires will give your gluteus maximus an abrasive massage as you ride!

On the site where I found this, they had taken picutures of other "normal" size cars and squished them with the driver inside (of the original photo, of course!). Makes the driver look wayyyyy to big for the seat. LOL

FUNNY STUFF... Maybe that design would make the power to weight ratio a bit more competitive... Good find...

GREAT THREAD CISSY! You really hit one out of the ball park. I think the red Viper roadster actually looked better than the real "McCoy"!
