Re: Lexan Installation

I suppose its something I'll get used to when I actually get the car out on the track, but the seating position for me is awkward. I'm 6'2". I have a custom built UltraShield Containment road race seat. I mounted it right on the floor. The seat that came in the (school) car was on mounts well up off the floor and my head/helmet was hitting the roof. Now the steering wheel position, shifter position, and pedals are all very comfortable, but I have a hard time sensing where the front of the car is. Its like I'm sitting in the back seat of my old car. I'm sure its something inherent to the Panoz, Vettes and Vipers. Of course, I haven't raced any of those (yet) I'll adjust/adapt, but it just feels foreign to me, as if I should be sitting further forward. Anyway.....
