Even more clever than the SSR is the Cadillac XLR top. I took that to an auto show when I had one of the CTF cars. Drew a crowd like you wouldn't believe simply putting the top up and down.
Thanks for sharing, OP, but not really a tecnical challenge there, especially with a mid engined car.

Many times innovation isn't about the engineering, but the application. Sometimes the simplest idea is the best one.
Biggest problem I see is, what if a bird poops on the underside of the roof? Flip that baby back up when it starts raining and you get poop on your head!
