But even for the weirded-out stuff modders would put up with there must be a limit. Of course it depends on how big a galoot we're talking about. Maybe some guys would be OK with taking the steering wheel on and off every time they ingress/egress? (think Opel Ecospeedster or whatever that thing was). And a guy has to be able to move his arms and junk around a bit once inside, just to function and have a little stretching room.
The mini-hypercar is so "tight" I'll have to do the Momo removable-style steering wheel just to be able to snake my legs in and around the the VW pan mechanicals up into the footwell crash box.I wouldn't ask anyone else to put up with that but it's no real hardship for me if I think some good will come of it.---------------------- I do think "space" is definitely an issue and I'm curious to see how far others are willing to go.
