    Quick question: can someone opine on the interior space difference between the italia vs. spider. I have an italia and love it. I have a 911 cab and enjoy it. Alas, its not the same visceral experience as the 458. So I am considering a spider. Tried one yesterday. The interior space, both head room and leg room (seat has less travel) felt materially different for someone who is 6'3"....I noticed it particularly when i got back into my italia....thoughts? thanks very much

    I'm 6'5"... Comfortable seating is only possible with racing-seats, both in the Italia but even more in the Spider. There's definitely more space in your 911.

    I don't think you need racing seats, I have a coupe.

    Okay, if you think so... Headroom was zero with standard seats, wearing a helmet for trackdays impossible...
