[DeTomaso] To Drop or Not to Drop

Dear Julian,

"Not all lowered floor pans are the same, the method of lowering combined with the chosen seat bears a large influence on the outcome."

"The later GT5 style of lowered floor (despite Mr. Drew's opinion and my own opposingly biased one) is the best execution, it offers all options of seats to be installed with spacers if required (fore or aft for rake adjustment or all 4 for height) and provides for 2" of additional head room. This allows for any combination of seat to be installed and adjusted to the right (or wrong) height as I can attest to having driven my GT5 the 12 hours straight home from Phoenix after purchase, it took a week to work that crick out of my neck!"

"If I had a car in bare metal and wanted to lower floors, I would personally go GT5 full floor route, -----"

       $$$$$    You confirmed my opinion of that long ago test fit in a factory GT5 in Vegas.  It *did* seem so much more spacious.  If I ever drop the floor pans, I will use the GT5 method.  Thanks for the details.

                   Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
