You have me confused LOL! There aren't any rear seats in the Z.

During my test drive yesterday, my head was a bit too close to the roof. When I sat in one at a car show on Saturday, I felt like I was closer to the floor.

When I tried to look behind me (to the left side) yesterday before pulling out into traffic, I had to "bow" my head and look back in order to see out. I didn't feel like I had to do that at the car show.

There's an adjustment for the front height of the seat and the rear height of the sear.

Ah, gotcha! It's height adjustable, but just separate adjustments!

If you just plan on bombing backroads....the Z is ready to go!! you won't have temp issues at all.

Full throttle for like 10-20mins, like a track day, then you need the cooler but otherwise you don't.

I seriously doubt I'll find a road where I can drive with the throttle pinned for 10 minutes straight.

If you know of one that's not travelled by the cops, let me know!

I really enjoy a 6spd manual tranny. It complete's the "experience" of driving a true sports car for me.

Auto's are definitely a lil quicker now on the strait 0-60 times. get whatever you are happy with!

Well, being mainly a Muscle Car guy, quicker in a straight line is always better, therefore I think I'll go with the 7AT.

The handling is a wonderfully added benefit.

I'm interested in seeing how the 7AT performs on the back roads while operating the paddles. I totally forgot they were there during my test drive.

Trust me, they work just fine!
