My 360 F1 works beautifully, and all the ones I have seen/diven haver performed flawlessly.

I think the pedals are bolted on. If finding commercially avaliable products is difficult, you could have spacers machined to move the pedals closer. I'm talking about the drilled plates that you put your foot on, those could be unbolted and spaced forward. Unfortunately, every time she'll want to drive it, you'll have to put them on. But hey, its Valentines Day, surprise her!

Depending on how tall you are, you could have your mechanic move the seat mounting post forwards, get a different seat, or SPARCO has a lumbar cushion for their racing seats, have your wife tuck that or a few pillows behind her.
Or give your wife her own a 308 instead :) cus I think those cockpits r a lot smaller than the 360

Is the F1 similar to the Valo in late Mondial T's as far as the internals or a completely different system? Anyone ever drive/see a valo; is it any good?

William, I see the happy face after the F1 comment and can appreciate your humor. I wanted the F1 but some owners have not been happy with it and dealers do not have a permanent fix (constant software glitches). Not all F1's have the problem. I'll give Ferari more time to perfect it and then order my next car with it. In the meantime, I have to find a solution for the pedals

should have gotten the F1 :) Maybe some of those platform shoes would have the same effect but they r not too safe for driving, or walking, either

My wife is slightly too short to drive our 360 6-speed. Where can I find rubber covers to go over the clutch and brake pedals? Could they be made in various thickness? I don't want to attach wooden blocks to the peadals. That's not too safe.
