I'm definitely sitting too far back, but that's because the clutch take-up point seems too high for me. We'll see how it is once I get it adjusted. I still think the shifter feels a little spongy to me--I'm used to more harsh gear boxes I think. Actually, I just wish it felt more like a Miata's--THAT is an awesome gearbox!
