Very impressive!

Thanks!


To me, it looks like a mixture of a Corvette Stingray and a
Lamborghini Countach, but I'm strange.

Not at all!  The plane sloping front bears strong resemblance to a
Countach, while the rear part has some similarity with the Stingray.


DAT file please!

I want to see if I can improve the roof first...  Right now it is
connected to the chassis with a central pillar, which doesn't look too
realistic.  It also clutters the rear view quite a bit, which may, in
fact, be realistic for a Countach!  :-)


  How strong is the model?  It looks a bit fragile...

It's not as strong as a Town Jr. vehicle!  :-)

Actually, the only weak spot is the 1x3 and 1x4 plates on the side.
If you try to grab it by the sides, these will bend inwards.  The
bonnet is actually very rigid, connected with three clips on the
front.


and the seats don't look very comfortable ;)

Nah, I wouldn't use ABS seats in my car!  (If I had one...)
Seriously, though, the space shortage meant that the seat options were
quite narrow...
