You're right. I considered one of those for a long time. There is a LOT I love about that car. But there's not much headroom in them. My head touches the ceiling. Add a helmet to the equation and it's a no-go. I could bolt a race seat to the floor to make it work, but ehhh...
One of my pet peeves about that car is the steering wheel is offset from the driving position. So odd.
One of the race cars I've driven is my friend's E36 built to GTS3 specs. Tons of fun, but honestly, our cars have significantly more potential than that car.
