Yep, and 12EEE feet to boot <clever pun>. If you had to retrofit an ERA fitted to a short man with girlie feet, the hardest part would be spacing the pedals. The second hardest part would be removing any "extra padding" from under the seats (that might be easier than I think). Other than that, it's pretty straight forward. A few little tweaks and your head will be right where you want it. You then carefully hard mount everything, shim and tilt the 15" Moto Lita, just right. And *poof* the car fits you like a glove. One added benefit is that if your short friends ever ask to drive your car you can politely respond "Oh, gosh, you know I would love you to try this baby out, but, unfortunately, everything is shimmed and hard mounted to fit me perfectly, so you wouldn't even be able to reach the pedals. Sorry."
