I definitely understand about the little feel though!
Ferrari 308 and the Countach are the same.

Yup, agreed. One thing I really didn't like about the 308 was that the steering wheel was pushed way up higher than I like it. I like my wheel almost vertical, this was laid well back.

Did you find that? I loved the gated shifter though!

Hey Laurie...I signed off last night before you posted about going on to a doctoral program. Do you have some work experience already? I think you said you did?

My main issues with them are the narrow seats and the pedals being basically on top of each other. I was touching the brake and clutch pedals at the same time.

Why was the old bar locked? Why are taking a stupid rule from a stupid forum and applying it here?

Why? WHY???

I guess my feet are smaller! I could heel/toe pretty easily in it. Those cars were really designed and meant to be DRIVEN! Very responsive car all around.
I only got to drive my friends lease car though (friend owned the lease company), I'm not NEARLY financially sound to buy one!!

I think it's just kind of like books having chapters. Each chapter is 1000 posts. No biggie! It's not like they are boneyarded.

Me either. I just sat in a couple. The Countach seats were way too narrow, and I hadn't gotten out of shape yet.

I've asked Chef, and haven't received a satisfactory answer.

I just don't understand why a forum that strongly dislikes another forum tries to emulate the despised forum.
