    Oh, and it be a LHD car as that is the proper way to sit in a car.
    negative - RHD suits a majority of racetracks better due to inertia.

    Correct I guess; most racetracks are clockwise and it'd be beneficial to have the mass closer to the corner to get it around the corner yes?

    Ok let's agree, a McLaren F1 would be the ultimate solution.

    agreed!

    (in my opinion, one of the most brilliant aspects of the f1)

    have you driven a forklift? massive amounts of fun and danger to be had. and if you get the load heavy enough you can drive it on 2 wheels... the front 2.

    can just specifiy what side you want the shifter on, without changing the seat.

    I have not.

    My most recent rear wheel driving experience was siting in my granddad's walker and going around in it and it was hard as hell to control properly.

    Why were you driving gone?

    i have driven several... most notable a 6000 lb, rough terrain, forklift. it had 4 wheel steering, both counter steer and crab. very cool. also drove a center jointed lift, where the wheels were locked in one position and steered by hydraulicly flexing in the middle.

    the most time i spent in a forklift was a small lift working at a relief supply warehouse in new orleans in the 2 weeks following katrina. spent about 6-8 hours a day for a week solid, and a little bit a day for a week before and after.

    I posted the GTA: SA forklift because if anyone remembers, they had insane handling and they were f**king fast

    Well boys I took it out again today, this time I was much more relaxed and comfortable.

    I tried launching it, and achieving 0-60 in 3.5 is definitely possible.

    I also tried 0-1xx

    that was literally very scary. On the street you can't really comprehend how fast that is. You can only see what's directly in front of you...I dont think I would ever try that again without being on a track

    I only felt the adrenaline due to the danger, not the fun, but it was overall funny, yeah.
    mine was electric with a weird throttle, so it was only 0 or 100%.
    quite scary to maneuver it in close spaces or people around

    We hadn't seen it.

    Of course if it was me I wouldn't stop driving for a week...
