I dunnooooo....I kinda like it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Will we ever get a car like our beloved 914? I think never. Emissions, safety standards, creature comforts, and whiz-bang 'features' all stand in the way of the enthusiast because we are the minority in the consumer world. So if we want a modern car we'll just have to modify what we get -- well, that's probably a given (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I say reduce the weight and complexity and make the seats manually adjustable, not the pedals and steering/gauge pod. Although, if the steering and pedals are independantly adjustable I honestly could see the advantage of it. I have several friends who have short legs but long arms and torso. I've got long legs and arms, short torso...I like it, I fit into sports cars quite nicely (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
