When I've ridden in a stock Evo X it feels like I'm riding in a minivan - the seat position is so high! Is it just the car ride height or is it the seats?

ummm, I don't know... it really depends I guess on how tall you are because other guys have said that they feel like the car is lower and they couldn't see out of the side window very well. I think it's probably the ride height... but i'm a hair over 5'9, so i'm not sure.

The door sills were really high yes, I could see that being a problem. I'm 6'1, but there was lots of headroom.

How do you run in the Z? If I keep it, I think I'm gonna have to swap the drivers seat.

It is a snug fit. I had a problem at Summit Point because every time I went over the crest and got a little air my head would hit the roof and crunch my neck. Had to recline the seat one click to make it more comfortable. Seats and harnesses will likely be my next mod.

Yeah. I've stopped taking my Z out because it absolutely destroys my neck to try and fit in with my helmet on. It frustrates me that the seats can't be adjusted lower.

I think the Touring is even worse than the base due to all the motors.

Evo rides high. Roof is pretty high too, which adds to the feeling.

On the other hand, I can fit in the car with a helmet on, which is nice.
