2012 gtr
Next time you guys watch any sort of track racing, take a look at the drivers position. No one sits 5 feet from the steering wheel, they all sit like the driver above. You may think it looks dorky, but it really lets you handle the car better under spirited driving.
Everyone who rides with me always asks the same question. "Why do you sit so close to the steering wheel? Aren't you uncomfortable?"
I reply, "Have you ever seen a racecar driver with a gangsta lean? Didn't think so."
The 2012 GTR truly is the best car out today. I think it surpasses a lot of other sports cars not only in performance, but price and useability. There are faster cars out there, but none that look as good and are as cheap.

^ O RLY. Take a look at the position of her arms. Good luck turning the steering wheel with that.
Who said I drive with a "gangsta lean". I drive close enough to the steering wheel to be able to control the wheel perfectly as well as have enough room for my arm to shift.
If i was sitting that close I'd pretty much have to be putting my arm slightly behind myself in order to shift.
Not to mention how awkward of a position that would be for my clutch foot. (my evo has a 6 puck race clutch, HD pressure plate, and lightened flywheel) and i've ripped through a new pair of shoes and the carpet of my car in no time because of how much I have to dig my heel into the floor.

Oh and.
Notice how indeed he is closer to the steering wheel. But his SEATING POSITION is held onto the seat. The steering column was brought towards him, not the other way around.
Take a closer pic of the granny in the pic above. Is her back up against the seat. ME NO THINK SO DURRRR.
Why the hell would you have bucket seats when you're back is 2 feet away from it. I'm pretty sure when I'm driving my evo, I'd like my back pressed up against my RECARO SRD seats. Not floating 2 feet forward with my chest on the steering wheel.
Sorry sir, but you fuh fuh fuh fail.

According to a race driving school, you should be able to have your back fully against the seat and be able to put arms straight outstretched and be able to have both wrists on top of the steering wheel
