Could you please provide your insight as to the height that a driver can comfortably sit in a 355 hardtop. I’m 6’2” 220. Thanks in advance Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Quick search... Also depends if length is leg or torso. I am 6'0 and legs are OK and my hair brushed the top with it on. I have a 348 but ergonomically its the same, I think the 355 steering wheel is tilted up a bit more, not certain. https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/tall-drivers-in-a-355.44803/ https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/too-tall-for-a-355.279692/ https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/which-ferrari-if-you-are-1m94-tall.124531/ https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/tall-person-question-on-348-355.252731/ https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/headroom-legroom-348-vs-355.516885/
My friend is 6'0 and 250 lbs. He does not fit in my 348. Head goes above the windshield. Just go test drive one. 360 and 430 fit larger people much better. They're also more reliable. My 348 is an electrical gremlin nightmare, but oh so much more fun to drive. I prefer 348 to 355 due to less electronics and no power steering. A little bit of bolt on engine work, tinkering/tuning, and 360 wheels really wakes up a 348. 348's are an uncut diamond. They take time to sort, but so worth it once you do.
Totally depends on torso, leg and arm length tbh, not just overall height, but I'd say around 6'4" is around the limit to be comfortable. I'm 6' but have a longer torso so have some issues with performance driving as I have to lean the chair back so my head isn't in the headliner and I'm reaching too far for the wheel. If I pull it closer, my knees start hitting stuff. I can drive comfortably without issue, though, and have had up to 6'4" in the car without issue, the chair can go back and lean enough to make it not an issue for normal driving, but may have trouble if you try to get an ideal seating position (which I define as shoulders against the seat and wrist on top of the steering wheel).
I'm 6'2" and 200lbs. I would say I'm about near maxed out in my 355 GTB. If I'm wearing a helmet, I'm basically pushing into the ceiling.
6’1” 200, seat all the way back and tilted, comfortable. Big shoes may be a challenge as there’s not much room with a 3 pedal.
I’m 6’5” 240 (50/50 torso-legs) and I have a 355 GTB and GTS. The biggest issues for me are 1.) I have to take my shoes (size 15) off to drive them and 2.) the rear view mirror is directly in my line of sight so you have to suck a bit to see under it. The clutches are very easily engaged so no issues for bent legs. My 458 is much more comfortable for sure but I make some sacrifices for the 355 experience.
