    Hello

    I was looking the answer on the Internet, but I haven't found it. I want to make my girfriend wish come true and I want to buy her posibility to drive Ferrari F430 on the track for couple of laps but there's a problem. She's around 5’2” and I'm wondering if she's not to... short to drive this car. Will she be able to see someting more than just a middle of steering wheel?

    Thanks for all answers,
    Bart

    Hmmm maybe drive a lambo. They are much smaller. I’ve had 5.5 in passenger and they seemed ok

    Is there much of a difference between an F430 and a 360? I'm only 5'4" and have no issues. Even being a manual car which means moving the seat forward to engage the clutch, there is still enough seat travel for me that I could move it up much further and now be uncomfortable to drive. Add in adjustable steering wheel position and seat height, she will most likely be just fine

    My wife is 5’2” and she takes my F430 out all the time, and it’s a gated manual but no issues reaching the clutch.

    She’ll have no problems. Enjoy.

    You need to be at least 5'5 to see over the dash ok if the car has sport bucket seats. Otherwise 5'2 should be fine.
