Your target specs sounds interesting. I'm try to get a sense of the design project. Same hp. range, ht., & width of an Elise. Longer wheelbase but shorter length!, than an Elise. With the compound curve windshield (based -Stratos, 917, T-70, etc.) glass, I picture a 7/8's scale of a Riley Daytona Prototype with flatter slab sides. Your design has bobtail (short rear overhang) proportion gives it a great shorter track-car look but a longer overhang will give you better controlled trailing flow. The trailing rear tire eddies will be minimized & your lower belly air channeled cleaner.
