Being mid-engined, the driver sits more forward, and the inner front fenderwells force the footbox to be very small. It tapers, and you actually sit a little crooked in the car.
All 3 pedals are also VERY close to each other. With my fat running shoes on, I can push all 3 pedals at once! lol.
Vids are hopefully coming soon!
I summoned help, and wednesday I'm hopefully getting vids I can post on youtube, which I can then link here.
I plan to do startup (bada$$ VROOM!), the idle is tame because of the injection, so it doesn't sound all crazy at idle, but if you saw the cam specs you'd be really surprised at how tame the idle is. It SHOULD be jumping all around at idle, but the injection apparently smooths out the idle.
I then plan to do a vid of just punching it from maybe 10mph, which results in instant burnout, same for 2nd gear.
Then maybe a little getting sideways in a parking lot, and for the cherry on top, I hope to get an in-car vid from a stop, up through the gears to redline in each gear, just to 4th though.
The car has the ZF gearbox in it (same box used in the old GT40), a close ratio racing 5 speed. Freeway cruising is normally not enjoyable because 5th isn't very tall. MY gearbox though, has had an extra tall 5th gear installed, so at 70 I'm at around 2500 rpm instead of 3500, which is still buzzing the monster V8 higher than today's cars.
My truck with overdrive runs at like 1200rpm at 75!
