Thanks. I like your pics too Billy.. I need to figure out how to get the yellow out - like yours. Maybe some photoshop or some other color balance setting on the camera.

Brian, I am so sorry man.
Once I saw you made the drive I felt like crud
That would have been some AWEOME pics with the two G's.

I would have run out, but I was watching my 9 week old Neice, can't exactly just bail.

Looks like it would have been a BLAST!

I dont know how many autoX i will attend this year. I will try and make it to a couple, but I am more for the HPDE. Unfortunaltey it may all be on hold, because funds are a lot low right now. hopefully it will be better by spring.

I will not be attending until July
That is when I get the 370.

Had fun in the G but this is a BIG #itch.
Need the 370 before I got to any autocrosses or OTD

Of course you can drive it.
There is a big difference in the whole driving of the car.
Alot less boy racer, and alot more refined.

You will like it alot, though with all the time and $$ in your Z man.
To start all over is nuts I think

Do you lose much leg room?
I barely fit in my 350... actually I don't fit that well. My legs have about a 135degree internal angle (guessing from my desk : ) and my knee hits the steering wheel when I lift to push clutch.

I really didn't notice anything on legroom.
Jesus man how tall are you, my 6'6 friends drive my Z's no problem.

I would think there is more because of the removal of all the storage stuff behind that no-one used. But I really didn't notice any major differences.

wow...they must have short little legs then, lol. i'm 6'2", and although my zr is an automatic (my ONLY complaint about the car), i'm kinda glad... because the wheel touches my knees too. i'd hate to think about how bad it would be with a clutch.

Damn,
I'm 6'1 and never have had a problem fitting.
I really don't know guys, I would assume the cabin is a bit smaller if anything

The car did lose about 7 inches in length.
I'll have mine in July If you guys come to a meet you can take mine for a spin and see if you fit.
