Talking How low do you sit?

This isn't too serious a topic, so don't get your panties in a bunch...


I notice a lot of S2K drivers, in pictures at least, sit so low that only their head is showing above the door. Now, I'm only 5'7" but I normally drive with my left arm on the window sill. I sit comfortably and can see across the hood. I'm apparently sitting taller than most.

I won't call out names because someone is bound to be offended but even the promo pics show only the driver's head.

If you're not sitting upright with your wrists able to sit on top of the wheel when arms are extended, you're sitting like a ricer.

I'm 6'2 and my seat is only 1 or 2 clicks from the FRONT.

^are you 5'6?

Sitting upright and close to the wheel is proper driving position.

5' 10" . i am sitting upright since the Bride is non-adjustable.. but I thought sitting too close could be fatal if the airbag deploys.

you must have short legs.....I'm 6'2 and the closest I can get to the front is one notch from being all the way back.
