New FGT owner

[panteradon]

Just got my first FGT yesterday. Love this car. I have had 2 DeTomaso Panteras and this reminds me of a more refined Pantera. I have a lot to learn. My one observation in my limited driving is that I would love to sit a bit higher. Being short 5’ 3” I feel even shorter in the car. Other than that this car needs nothing. Looking forward to enjoying it for years to come.

Nice! Congrats! My 5'-2" sister couldn't operate the clutch even with the seat all the way forward. Probably didn't help her much knowing that in her periphery was me in the passenger seat probably looking kinda terrified

The previous owner of mine was also less tall...he had a couple of ~1" aluminum square tube/pipe that were bolted on to the seat rail and he said it made a difference. Also, I recall early less-tall owners would remove the windshield wipers to clear their sight line.
Ps-I too had a Pantera (for 35 years).

My short wife complains about the wipers too. She uses a stadium cushion for padding and height.

I think I'm plenty tall but still would prefer the wipers were out of view ... mainly cuz I like the view straight down to the road. But I live in Florida.
