    If there's one thing I HATE about my G

    is the crappy turning radius. Holy hell I dread making U turns lol! Even my wife's Z06 turns better than the G. Oh well, I still like the car.

    I love my G, but I'll admit there is a flaw... I absolutely hate the slushbox!

    The driver's side 'A' pillar. I'm always having to move my head around like an owl to see around it. I'm honestly thinking about ways to cut it out and have it replaced with tinted Lexan or something.

    And yes the turning radius kills me too. I can't remember the name off-hand but I found a company that will convert our 3 turn from side to side steering columns into 2 or even 1.5 turns for a nice pile of money. That would help at least. Someday...

    Anyone know any other ways to improve the crappy turning radius of the 8G?

    The rear seats were made for sleeping. Seriously, I can't put my foot to the floor.

    the evo rear seats are better than ours, i dont understand it. my turning radius began to suck even more once i lowered it. i also figured out our cars are longer than they look, my cars longer than my moms E-class benz.

    i like the way it rides, comfortable front seat.

    just wish we had the window controls that a single press rolls them all the way down, instead of having to hold them down...

    ya, thats my main complaint. LoL

    that problem is easy to fix. Just get 2 530t's. That will give you 1 touch up and down on all 4 windows.

    Have you guys seriously not yet figured out how to get around the crappy turning radius, just carry some speed into the corner and give the handbrake a quick yank, that is what its there for, you might as well use it.

    Yes
    Which brings us to why I hate the auto shifter that hits the back of your hand as you pull up the ebrake. (forced to get the after market straight one I guess)
