    I am planning my first Ferrari purchase and was sold on the 360. I am 6'5 and 280 lbs. I tried a 360 on for size and fit although I don't know how comfortable it would be after an hour or two of driving.

    I have searched the forum and found a couple of tips to eek out an inch or two more of headroom. For those that have driven both the 360 and 550, does the 550 offer any head/leg/seat room advantage over the 360?

    I'm 6"2" and 250 lbs and, even with my sit-up-and-beg style, I fit fine in the Maranello. At 6'5", you may need to lay the seat back. However, you might have a tough time making a helment work, if this is important.

    Compared to a 360, the 360 has a lot more room than a 550.

    You can lower the 550 drivers seat 1" and still have the seat power controls work.
    6'6" and now saving for a 612 which has more room than a 550.

    550 is uber comfortable all the way around, it is very wide and the seats are nice and roomy. as far as height I am only 6' but I am a big guy and I have tons of room.
