Too tall for a 355?

Anybody catch the comment that over 5'11 and you are too tall and can't see out , with out bending down , on Barrett/Jackson ? I'm a little over 6' and was wondering if I'll fit comfortably ?
Thoughts ?

Well I'm 5 11 and have no problems and am sure that being 6 foot wouldn't make a difference, although I guess it depends on your body type, some people may have long torsos which would make a difference.

 

That's the dumbest thing I have heard in awhile. I'm over 6'2 and I have fit in both of my 355s without any problem.

 

I just thought! Clarkson is 6' 4" and he had a GTS, he'd been the first to moan about not being able to see out of it

 

Thanks guys ! I though I would have heard it before if it was true . Started a BJ thread http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=279693
BTW its an auction thread in case I confused anyone

I was thinkin the exact same thing. Top Gear rules. - F355.....the best car........IN the WORLD ( my best Clarkson impression ) LOL

Well my friend is 6'6" and he has a 355. It aint pretty but it works.

 

In all honesty, I'd make it work if I had to!

 

how eloquently put Lol

 

Watch me get a ban now like i did last week, for lacking humility LOL!!

 

Ha ha, you got banned !
I'm sorry Sambomydog but that's funny mate

 

Yes mate afraid so, i upset the old boys club some how on the F1 section

 

Believe it or not some people use the forums to chat with other's not search for past conversations and read them in some voyeuristic fashion

( just screwing with you LOL )

 

Uh oh!
Light the blue touch paper and retreat rapidly! Preferably in a fast car lol

 

So you read all the 5 links i posted then

 

I'm 6' 2" and slide my seat forward to drive..

 

Thats the long arms short leg prefered Italian driving position ? Funny story , a friend of mines' Brother is about 5'7" Im 6' his arms are the same length as mine . He's not some weird lookin freak either , Women flock to him In all his Italian Stallion Glory . But he is physically build to the preferred Ferrari driving position .

...ah...sure ! LOL

I'm the same height and feel like a sardine in mi car with the seat all the way back.

Too small for me time to move to a 360...

 

May be its a waist thing....maybe

 

Ahhh...NO! its wide enough just no leg room. Don't understand why the dead foot rest is so high.

 

I think you have hit the nail on the head! I'm 6' 5" and can drive it but belive me I do struggle! (head room is fine but leg room is far from ideal). It's a case of putting up with a driving position that certainly wouldn't be acceptable in an everyday means of transport, but you have to do it if you want to own a F355!

ps: Clarkson is probably nearer 6' 2" from my memory of standing next to him!

 

You mean after looking down on him
he's always seemed pretty tall to me!
If I drive my van more than 30 miles it effects a nerve in my right leg, I always moan about it, IF that happened in my 355 I wouldn't tell a soul !

 

LOL it's the opposite (I guess) short arms.. I wouldn't have to move the seat forward if the steering wheel was closer...

+1 I was in a 360 the other day (showroom floor) there is way more room!!!
