Nice Photoshop, Mitch. Almost to scale...
Stan, I totally get where you're coming from, but maybe a 10.5/10 version? 4 inches on 85" is about that. The original wheelbase was about 83" which is what Anand's Spyder is.
And yeah, that's why footwell/front suspension space is tight. A Spyder replica is 12 foot 2 inches long. Same wheelbase as a Speedster, but shorter overhangs. Plus the engine is flipped around instead of having a back seat. The original wheelbase was about 83" which is what Anand's Spyder is.
