    I just finished Guido's Fuseboard on my 1987 Testarossa. I'm ready to tackle another Ferrari.

    Odd question: I'm 6'4" 225lbs, no problems fitting in my Testarossa. Would I have any issues in the 355 F1? I've read some tall guys prefer the F1 for more foot room as opposed to a manual.

    TIA!

    I guess it depends on your leg and arm lengths. At 6'3" with long legs, I have to sit pretty upright to reach the steering wheel. I rented a Testarossa a long time ago and was amazed by the amount of room in the cabin (especially widthwise). The offset pedals on the TR nearly caused me to have an accident. I could never find the brake pedal.

    I am the same size. Feel very comfortable in my GTS. I am a little longer in Torso, than legs. If top is removed and behind seats, it can be tough. I usually leave top at home. But again, I find the 355 very comfortable. I cannot fit well in a C4-C6 vette. I actually hate the fit. C7 better.

    550/575 not comfortable either. I need Race seats in my 458 to fit well. In my 430, electric Daytona’s fit great!

    Sooooooo…..

    I find the 355 very comfortable in all versions. Hopefully you will feel the same. I can drive it well. I do like driving barefoot though, as size 13 shoes can be tough. With Puma Ferrari shoes, no problem, but Hoka or On Clouds can get caught up.

    Have fun finding one.

    6’5” 240 here. Size 15 shoe so I have to take my shoes off every time I take my manual GTS out. Not comfortable with top stored behind the seats at all.

    …..worth it.

    Same as Rob, racing seats in my 458 are perfect at the lowest rear setting.
