    Hi Fellow Northern California Ferrari enthusiasts. I am interested in buying a 328 GTB, but I need to know if I fit in one as I am 6’ 2” tall. Is there any 328 GTB owners in the North Bay/Mill Valley area (I live in Mill Valley) I could meet with to see if I can actually fit in a 328 GTB comfortably? I have a 328 GTB on the hook, but I need to know if I fit before I buy…..It is out of state, so I need to meet with someone local to North Bay/Mill Valley to see if I fit in one comfortably......

    Many thanks

    i don't live in the SFO area, but will pass on the following observations:

    * no matter what, will be a tight fit.
    * i'm 5' 12" tall :) and -just- fit, mainly cuz my height is in my legs and i have a moderate length torso.
    * being 6' 2", if you wear pants length 36" or longer, you'll probably fit. 35" might work...34" or less, gonna be tight...(i wear 34" pants).
    * you can always lean the seat wayyyy back, but is a funky position in which to drive.
    * i remember seeing posts in the old Fchat forum(do a search) about someone lowering the driver's seat a bit. Don't remember how, but if you can do it, there -is- some extra room underneath the seat.
    * if, by chance, you do fit, torso-wise, long legs are gonna position you back from the steering wheel. Do a search and find the post(s) about adding spacers to the wheel to move it out, closer to the driver.
    * GTB is a better fit than the GTS, as you have a bit more headroom(unless, or course, you do a 'Magnum' number and pop the top, in which case your eyeballs will be staring straight into the top edge of the front window... :) )
