Short Wheelbase Questions

Anyone ever go from a F02 (Long Wheelbase) to a F01 (Short Wheelbase)?

If so, are you happy or do you regret your decision?

ALSO, I’ve noticed some F01's not having the rear shelf wood.

Is this due to the type of wood or the fact it’s a short wheelbase?

Thanks!

Most don't have the rear wood shelf. I've only seen a couple that do, usually Individual Composition cars.

I really don't see the point of the F01s. The front seats in 7's as a whole are nothing great, and when you take away the F02s rear leg room, it seems like a waste. The F07 5GT has more rear leg room than a short 7, the F34 3GT is only an inch or 2 less, and both are way smaller on the outside.

Just my feelings on the subject.

Hmm; strange; the seats are best in class IMHO.

Thanks though!

I hate the front seats. I'd much rather be in the back. The seats in the A8 makes the 7s seats feel like park benches.
