anyone know how the vision is?

looking in your rear mirror, can you see the road enough to judge a distance of a particular car behind you, or in the next lane?
It doesn't look like you have much of a vision in that area
And how about your left and right mirrors? how to they fit?

I want to know, because when i'm mega wealthy (haha i wish) and own one of these machines (when i'm asleep, funny story that, i can't actually picture the car, only the interior, the ext just doesn't want to draw it self) I'd want to be able to look in all my mirrors and see everything i need to.

thanks.

Re: anyone know how the vision is?

I've heard the side vision is quite good. I've also heard of people putting tiny curved parabolic mirrors on their side mirros to reduce the blind spots.

As for the back, it varies from model to model. If you have a diablo with roof vents (like the SV) they obstruct the rear window a bit. If you look at the back of a 2WD compaired to a SV, you can notice the difference. I've never been in one though, so I can't really say how much it obstructs your vision.

Vision is fine, you get used to it. I can fly in and out of traffic just like in my Cadillac.
