Default Factory seat placement?

Anyone else a little bugged that the factory seat is rotated a little counterclockwise? I've noticed this in other cars too, like the gto we use to own, and a mustang I test drove. The Z isn't nearly as bad as the gto and mustang, but it's still off. Now if I put in a race seat, and face it strait forward, will I have trouble with the relationship of the steering wheel and the peddles? I had gotten to the point where I didn't think about it as much, but then I bought the wife a VW GTI. The seating position is perfect in that car, the steering wheel is in the center, and it just feels right.

Never really noticed the counterclockwise seat position.
Put in a recaro seat and it is far better than stock.
