lol, that sucks. be careful when

Gauge your pass. Try to change lanes on a pass, don't change too often and learn to measure your car and your velocity vs the other car mentally. Seat position is key. Sometimes what is most comfortable isn't the most driver friendly. Example, I prefer a slight lean on my seat. But i drive my Z more upright than i like to have a better connection with my mirrors. I found with my seats in a slight lean? I wasn't benefitting from optimum use of my mirrors.

Play with the seat mirror thing till you get it.

be safe about it all. god forbid a child-like adult gets behind the wheel of this sports car ....and does harm not only to his or herself but to others around them.

there's a place and time for everything...speed on the track/dragstrip.... not on the road

Better invest in some car cleaning supplies!

^ YES! Especially in black, get some microfiber towels good shampoo etc etc.

Throw an exhaust on there ASAP! I recommend F.I., but take a #

I agree. I have the F.I. one. My friend got an Ark one recently and that sounds good too, though. If you don't want to wait 3 months like the rest of us for F.I., there are plenty of good options.

Before the CBE, though, post MAF and drop-ins are a quick, cheap and easy mod to take care of unless you plan to go CAI that is.

black on black, calls for dark-gunmetal high end wheels.

If he adjusts his sideviews out far enough, he should be ok. I have it set up so that there is almost no blind spot. The biggest risk to me is backing up. if a shortie or animal is behind you, you're not going to see it at all. My gf is afraid to drive the car because f the poor rear visibility, though, haha.

The rear right corner (around the 4-5 o'clock position) is almost 100% blind, if you have an off-angle left turn. Mirrors cant fix that.

Hmmm, I'll pay attention to that. thanks. I just have it set up that if i can't see them through my wide windows, I can see them in my sideview, but that means having them turned out quite a bit. That may create a blindspot where you say. good heads up. I drive pretty courteously and don't weave too much unless it's pretty clear and open (I don't want to be that jerk in the sports car driving like he owns the road and weaving in traffic and not getting anywhere really) so I haven't really noticed.
