thks for helping me make my lame excuse valid,
... now I better understand why autox- track drivers rather have a car with no sunroof, for it provides more head room space and lesser wt.

I wasn't used to having the helmet. My head movement was limited as well. I still question the need for the helmet for use in a wheezy automatic rental-grade Chevy when Mazda lets you loose in a 6MT turbo-charged, AWD performance sedan for all-out runs, all day without requiring helmets. Heck, Mazda lets you loose in topless Miatas without headgear

The only reason we thought of was to give you the bogus feeling that you're in a serious race event, that you're at the hands of a high-performance AVIS special ...I find that laughable

I was upset that they were manual seats, and I could not sit the seat lower so I can fit in the damn car...

Come to think of it though... I dont know If I would fit in my E90 with a helmet... This would be without pushing the seatback so far that I might as well be sitting in the back seat...
