Lowest roofline cars..
The original GT-40 Ford had a 40" tall roofline. The new Ford GT-40's are 44" high. I know the new Z-06 Corvettes are 49" tall. Any specs on any other low sitting cars?

Someone should check the new Lotus Elise because you have to roll into the car to get into it.[:0]
Just found it on the net and its 45" high, I thought it would be a lot shorter than that. Its a tiny car. Weight is less than 2000lb. has a 1.8 liter toyota engine with 190 hp. Runs 0-60 in 4.9 and will do 150 mph. Cost is around 50K for the Elise and 78K for the Exige Cup, 243 hp.0 -

Good idea, I forgot about the Elise(47.3") and Exige(45.4").
The new Lotus Europa is just over 43.7".
Ferrari's Enzo - 45.2"
Koenigsegg CCX - 44.1"
Porche Carrera GT - 45.9"
Saleen S7 - 41"0 -

This bad boy would be x-tra fun to drive.. I checked the C-3 and C-4 Corvette's rooflines. Seems Chevrolet is going backwards.. The 74' Convertible is 47.3" and the Grand Sport is 46.3" tall. New ones at 49".. I don't think so..

Check the Jaguar XJ220 and Ferrari F-40 specs. They might be lower. The original GT-40 is my dream car. 0 -

In movies? Those are altered versions. They sit higher then a normal trailer. I'll guess 40in, plus or minus; depends on the trailer and load.0 -

The Lotus Europa is 42", it seemed lower as you basically have to roll to get out of it. 0 -

Heck, I owned a 1974 Europa back in 1988. Expensive to buy parts and actually not a real good handling car. At least your posting had a roof line. ( Hardtops )..[8D][8D] 0 -
