I personally like the pop ups, it kinda defines 80's sports cars to me.

Dl and Intro, you guys know what it's all about. You guys know what this ****'s all about. PLUS, I think each 100lb rim adds about 45whp, and you wouldn't even want to imagine what kinda insane hp a huge tach in the windshield adds. Not saying that the rex in that picture has one, but I've seen some pretty mean Geo Metros with h uge tachs... scared me right out of my boots.

um ... like the new nsx, it used to have pop-up, but honda make it more stylish and change it to non-pop-up in 1999
Actually I believe they did it to reduce weight and aerodynamic drag.

Pop-up lights need motors to open and close them, they are added weight of the very front of the car. Also when they are up, they add alot of unnecessary drag. I believe that the NSXs top speed went up a few mph with just modifying the body to be more aerodynamic.
