Nothing is really stopping them from cutting out the jumper seats and sliding the cabin n rear together more. These modular platforms are all about modularity.

I was actually going to start doing that with my car but now I am going to tow it.

There is more than the US names. And GR is not confirmed as even real yet.

In that case this thread is irrelevant since they are not going to make a two seat version anyway.
They are not going to make a GT and sport car version of the same low volume vehicle.

What ZDan and I want is a modern, inexpensive and Japanese version of a TVR coupe—a 2400lb Mini-Viper.

My whole (and very simple point) was that it is not as easy as them just cutting out a section and moving parts forward even if modular. They have to still meet standards whether you want or think they don't. As usual the discussion centers around the hypothetical reasons they could or should do something while ignoring the reasons that couldn't. There is a reason that all the cars you keep showing are either really old or very expensive.

I am here to present a counterpoint. That is how discussions work.
You were the one that threw irrelevant out. The thought that it is currently a GT car and what you want is an actual sports car would seem that terminology is indeed relevant.

Every car is a compromise of course. 2+2 offers more utility for sure. I wouldn't mind giving up some of that for better weight distribution, lighter weight, shorter wheelbase. |
