"Hyperbolic Wind Trap Woofer" I believe is the correct term.

Coupe for me.....................Choice of stick or auto, removable top, choice of body-color or tinted roof panel, most storage space, great lines.

Another point of view on the hatch back.
I have a body color ( Torch red ) painted Targa top ( which I like the best ), and a clear acrylic top ( beautiful for gazing at the stars on a cool evening drive) but ( Hot in the summer sun ) and of course the option to remove it completely. You can't do any of these top options with an FRC.

As always, some nice shots of some beautiful cars.

Here's my '97 coupe (only model available). Upgraded to Y2K chrome thin-spokes. Have both tinted and body-color solid top.
