    Shaq had the rear seats removed from his 456 as I recall.

    don't underestimate lowering of a seat. A low race seat will gain a lot of height in the ceiling but also a vast amount of leg room.

    Agree, I'm 191 cm (6feet3) tall and the racing seats in my 550 gives me far more space compared to standard seats.

    Yep. and then there's REAL racing seats that sit much, much lower than the Maranello sport/racing seats (zero intended offense, I love the 550 racing seats Ferrari just named them wrong/ambitiously:D:D). See here proper racing seats in @cwwhk 's 550.

    Both versions of the 550 sport seats are 2 piece and have adjustable back angle in relation to the base.

    550 Maranello uses the older TIR carbon seat similar in design used in the F355

    550 Barchetta uses the Sparco carbon seat similar in design used in the 360 Modena.
