Slipknotv, you really need to flip the overlay 180 degrees.

I say this because I suspect many (not all) of these designs do just as well in either direction.

I've enjoyed viewing your exercise, I encourage you to take it to the next level.

Once you have flipped the overlay to proper orientation, perhaps a study of plan views would be in order.

In the exotic category at least, I'm noticing more template adherence of the canopy area (ie... Ford GT + Jag F-Type?).

I doubt any of the wedge cars conform to the template in plan view in either direction, but I could be wrong. The Lancia Stratos production car (not the concept car - Zero) might be one exception when looking at canopy alone.

EDIT: A forgotten wedge car? It's not a Fiat - hint.
