I hate soft-tops, they are ugly, so I prefer roadster.

I still think it would be cool to drive in the open air and sun in a GT. I would throw away the top though, because it looks ugly on the GTX-1 and ruins the whole point. Then swap rims and have it painted how you want and you have a dope summer weather GT.

Hmmm...to be honest, I'm not sure. There has to be a top to the roadster. That maroon with ghost stripes a few pages back was a roadster, with the roof in right? I don't know much about the GTX-1, but I just don't like the way they look. I bet it would be cool to drive in the sun though like you said, the exhaust would sound great too. But I've just never been a fan of anything other than a coupe for an exotic car.

Reverse is to the left of first. Here is the layout.
