Do you do 3d models for a living or just as a hobby? Ask yourself if you'd put it into production yourself as an actual product. Lowering the roofline has improved your proportions considerably but if you really want to win a competition against professional modelers I would suggest starting a second draft with a sketch in mind. As it stands it looks like you dove straight into solidworks without a sketch or any kind of orthographic or reference (thus the unrefined surfaces and off proportions).

Thanks for the advise. I do use solidworks for a living, however I use it for machine design. I don't get into surfacing much at all, although I have an interest in it. I thought this project would be a fun excuse to try it out and test my skills! The areas you talked about can be smoothed out and blended better. I was going for the look that is was carved out of wood. I didn't want this to look like a real car as the competition is to design a PWD car. As Gixxer pointed out it looks like a car generic type Z car from the movie Cars. This is exactly what I was going for. I have started another draft folloing your advise. I'll post it when I get it to a worthy point.
