    6' 165. Size 9.5 shoe. 51 hat. 31/34 pants, and 38-40 shirt. Very bright blue eyes, but no wavy hair though, lost it somewhere - but I do play both the piano and guitar. I'm good animals and can give an excellent massage if I say so myself.

    Hey, I just wanna fit in [emoji14]

    5'7", 175lbs of pure muscle (yeah right) - flip I am "0.33 yards" shorter than you monsters :)

    FWIW my 6'2" buddy fits in a Perf with CF seats no issues. And the CF seats can be lower 1/2" if need be.

    The last tends to imply that it's the pinnacle of what can be achieved before the change so it does usually have some significance

    Agree to the fullest, Pete.

    Wish you said that here! :D

    Back on topic, I think the Pista is such a great car, I wouldn’t mind paying above MSRP for it if I was infatuated by it. Life is short. Just saying. Although overpaying is never nice and we sure as hell didn’t get where we are in life by overpaying for stuff, there are much worse things than overpaying for a special edition Ferrari.

    Kind regards,

    Nuno.

    Owned 610-4 and 580-2 both fit like a glove. When I autocross my helmet rubs the headliner but I do have a size 8 melon. Have not driven a Huracan spyder.

    California, 458 spider, AMG GTS, Mini Countryman and GT3 no issues with fit.

    I believe driving a Huracan comfortably has more to do with body habitus and proportion of upper torso to legs than exact height. I dont have short legs but still have additional room to move my electric seats farther back if desired and I like to drive with my legs stretched out.

    I can see how having long legs is an issue.

    Beast mode hah

    I think I talked myself into getting another 458. Found a good deal on a Grigio Titans one. Pista would just be too quick for me, 0-145 mph in 10 seconds is jail time quick.

    Titanio color is very classy and sporty at the same time! Under the sun you will notice your rear mirror exudes blue hue light. It's gorgeous!

    GT owner here too. IMO GT looks more interesting than Argento, has bluish hue which adds complexity to the color in direct sunlight as mentioned above, is easy to maintain and even after getting rained on still looks clean.

    Uh, kinda. I mean, I like walking on them, or sitting at a beach bar, beach bunnies and that sort of thing. But I.hate lying on them getting sand were sand was never intended to be.

    Nothing... Just stopped by to get a drink, have a chat, and see the SP2 sitting there.

    I understand the basic color choice as well as the shades chosen in this particular example might not be to everyone's taste, but, there is historical precedent- just something of which to be aware:

    https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/blue-seats.440278/

    https://www.ferrari.com/en-US/auto/860-monza

    https://www.topspeed.com/cars/ferrari/1962-ferrari-196-sp-by-fantuzzi-ar186248.html

    https://www.thedrive.com/sheetmetal/16792/1959-ferrari-250-gt-lwb-california-sells-for-a-cool-18-million

    https://revsinstitute.org/the-collection/1965-ferrari-250-lm/

    And many others as well as several F1 cars. So when I see it, I think this is someone who is giving a nod to history.

    Like they say, sometimes history shouldn't repeat itself. If you want to give a not to a historical race car, sure. But there are so many to choose from. Why pick the combo that is otherwise not done anymore?

    Touché!

    however by this logic no one should use Rosso Corsa... I think it’s always a personal expression. Whether it’s a traditional spec or something wild, or in the middle. I merely wish to provide some context which may have not been known (or maybe was and just not said) :)

    Might as well throw away the passenger’s seat. No one fits in there with the fire extinguisher.

    Kind regards,
