I'm just under 6'5" and 250 lbs. and wanted the 550 originally, but could not fit in comfortably. Ditto for the 456. The 360 is extremely comfortable. Lots of head and leg room, great on long drives. Even with the top up I still have a lot of clearance. |

I'm sure I will sit in one eventually. The closest dealer is 2 1/2 hours away. I know I like the 550's torque and the 360's look. Such a tough call. |

I'm 6'4", and the 550 fits me perfectly...with headroom to spare. |

I wish I was in the WWF, the way Vince pays I could have the entire Ferrari line up. But then I would have to forget about the education and start taking steroids. I would do it, the WWF and steroids, but I do not want my balls to get any smaller, unlike the guy from Chicago porn. |

The 360 Spyder has a lot more headroom for the taller drivers....Norm |

The 550's seats are too tight from the sides (which is why I always recommend the racing bucket option - they're tight too but not in an uncomfortable way) - The driving position is perfect with plenty of headroom - but I'm 5,10 and around 175...
The pedals are dead ahead of the seats with no offset.
However - sit too far back and you cannot see the bonnet despite the massive scoop and that makes pulling out of junctions impossible.
There is still a little offset on the 360 pedals but this car is also very roomy and is way, way better than the F355.

I can help here, I am 6-7 about 250. The 360 fits perfect, and I have some head room to spare, but the 550 is a bit tight. I could fit in it well enough to enjoy the car, but it was just not as spacious as the 360. |

Can't help much here, as I'm 5'7 and they all seem roomy to me. The 550 seems to have alot more lateral support in the seat than the 360s I've been in. I think some people equate this to a smaller cabin, but I'm not sure if this is fact or just a perception. Both also seems to have the most leg room ever for Ferrari. |

Anybody know which one offers more cabin space? I drove a 550 and it was snug but not something I couldn't get used to. Is the 360 similar or any better/ worse? Thanks in advance for any feedback. |
