It's not just you.

Nothing beats the visibility out of a 911.

It spoils you.

Put the seat on a fixed track and it will solve your headroom issues.

surprised by his comment at the end "anything less than 200K is a bargain". No one is buying that car for 199K.

I sat in a convertible Z51, and at 6'4 my eyes were just above the windshield, it felt like I was sitting in a kayak. For me it feels much more cramped the a C6.. Which sucks , it was a very nice car I'm just too big.. Dam GM can't build a car for us fat north Americans.

I sat in a racer car made from C6, like others said a recaro seat bolted to the floor solves the issue somewhat. also, with stripped interior it does not feel cramped.

street legal stock car is nowhere near with 997 comfort wise, it is true. but I do not think if anybody really thinks much of C7 as a street dual use car, it is born to be a racer donor, imho.

Just left the Detroit Auto Show.
That Z06 is nice. The aggressive adds look nice. Still not my cup of tea but it looks the business.

On another note the Targe PCar is great looking. Unfortunately I couldn't get in to see the 918, just had to gawk through the glass.

First we started off with powder puff blue Porsches and now you are adding male genitalia to the conversation! Are you from San Francisco too lol??

On a side note before you (or anyone else) takes any of this the wrong way the op that I responded to ended his post with a which is why I followed it with a response with a (as above). So this is all intended to be light hearted and good natured (plus one of my cars is pumpkin, so I like the more unusual colors).
