My main issue is my legs appear to be to long to get in and around the steering wheel comfortably

I LOVE LOVE LOVE GTS's, this is one time i wish i wasnt such a big guy
I'm 6' 5" tall and 310 pounds small...

With the Northwind Engineering's 2" seat drop kit and raising the front of the seat mounts 1.5" I fit very comfortably with just enough room to wear my racing helmet. Raising the front of the seat gives thigh support and a little more legroom...

I also have a computer wrist gel pad mounted on the transmission console to give my right knee support. This works out so comfortable that I can easily drive my Viper over 500 miles in one day and arrive feeling refreshed. Underground Racing improved my original set up and now the knee pad is adjustable.

Genious! Pictures anywhere on how this was done? Or pics of the UGR setup?

I drove from dallas to houston when I first bought my car and man did my knee hurt from resting on the console.
