True, but adding a canopy would possibly involve redesigning the entire car to suit. The canopy would need to be up to an inch thick if we judge this by the F-16 design and that would bring considerable weight. Not to mention the centre of gravity for the car would change, along with the airbox needing to be relocated etc. It would bring about alot of problems aswell as solving a few IMO.
