Default Mallet V8 sky conversion

This is very cool and a wee bit overpowered. But hey there's no kill like over kill right?

http://www.mallettcars.com/sky-conversion.htm

My personal fav package is the:

Turbocharged LS7 Package

* Everything in the Loaded Package PLUS:
* 900HP Turbocharged LS7 Engine
* Dry Sump Oil System
* 6-speed Tremec Transmission
* 3.73 Differential
* Custom Built Drive Shaft
* Custom Built Half Shafts
* 750HP Rear Wheel

I don't think the question is why with these companies it's "why not?"

It's not a coupe, it's a roadster (convertible).

Coupe to me is a two door vehicle with a solid roof. It could be a solid targa. None of that canvas BS.

That is how I view a coupe as well. The post I quoted the poster said it IS a coupe, which it is not. The Sky is a roadster, in stock form anyway; I dont consider hard-top convertibles coupes either; but I would consider a targa a coupe as well.

Sorry I quoted the wrong post.
Haha yea, I completely agree. Hard-top convertibles aren't coupes either.

^^ I saw the Coupe in person a week or two ago.
Actually pretty cool in person.

Looks like a Dung Beetle, but I sort of like it anyway.
