Lightbulb 4g63 powered AWD spyder...in the future?!

Well being bored i decided to do a little web surfing and i came across this... http://www.prostreetonline.com/pso/p...spyder_gsx.asp

some of you may have already seen that and i think its a freakin great idea, granted a bit heavy w/ the drivetrain and the roof hardware...

but now we have this...
http://www.mitsubishimotors.com/07spyder/ which is a definite thing

now hypothetically combine that with the following longshot...
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=107875

if such a combination was available, how many of you would jump on board the GSX spyder? how many think it would be too heavy in current form, or too expensive in a lighter more capable version?

Just a topic for discussion, no real point here...

I would have to see it in real world scenerio up close and in person. Then I would decide from there...... Kind of like my little four door, for me to switch, that car would have to be substantially lighter and same price or under the EVO.

There never going to make the AWD eclipse again so dreaming of a AWD spyder doesn't excite me. Cool idea though.

I know a lot of people who would love the Ralliart Eclipse Concept built. Personally I think that would already be too heavy. Maybe if they could stick in a 6 cylinder turbo then they'd have my attention.

There was never a AWD Convertable DSM, only FWD. So that DSM too a lot of work. Pick up the most recent SCC and there is another AWD Spyder with a GT35R, it is bad ***.

i think it would be tempting if mitsu decides to build a GSX coupe for under 35k.

Only if they wanted to detract sales from the Evo.
