BTW - is your seat on sliders or just the side mounts directly to the floor? Curious about head room?

Gary - no sliders. Fixed to the floor w/ side mounts.

Agreed getting out in a hurry is important. I've found that as long as I pull the wheel I can "contort" and get out pretty quickly. HANS quick release is a good idea.

BTW take a look at your fire systems. A friend of mine had a GTS catch fire last season and nada. Good news is that the fire crew was there in 20-30 sec and saved the car minus the hood.

I may add a separate small Halon extinguisher to make me feel better when seconds count.

Yep on the fire system, while installing my new one this weekend, I discovered that the pull cables, well, did not pull - the sheaths were a mess, torn and kinked. The original Halon hoses were kinked and worn - doubt they would have worked at all.... good advice - check these - the replacement or total swap was not hard at all.

I second this one. When I got the GTRA I tried the fire pull toggle (with cable disconnected from the bottle) and was somewhat amused when it came off in my hand and was not attached to the cable at all...............!!
