One thing to note on the roadster -- a 38" wheelbase is extremely short. I have an older V-Rex with a 40-inch wheelbase, and I've flipped it backwards on steep hills before. Some old 36-38" Visions were known to literally do nosedives under hard braking. IMHO 38" is too short for a highracer design.
