    Are there any 360/430 owners in the Norman/OKC area who would like to meet for a coffee so I can see if I would fit in those models? I'm 6-4" and about 270 pounds. I can easily do Tulsa area as well.

    Thank you,

    Scott

    You might also try the f-chat Midwest US forum. Oklahoma is listed and the locals might be able to help out.

    The biggest issue I've found is, my Daytona seats feel very narrow in the shoulder area. Otherwise, they feel fine. Depending how you're built (torso length vs leg length etc) you may find the roofline a little low.
    Like any low sports car, ingress/egress isn't ideal, but probably about par for the course when compared to similar cars.

    I'll add to the chorus: I'm 6'3 1/2" and 230 lbs, and fit quite comfortably into my 430. I have the sport seats which helps, but I suspect they are not necessary in that regard (but they do add 1 or a little more inches of headroom compared to Daytona seats). Nice to have them if you can find them though.

    I am 6'1" I found it horrible fit with the Daytona seats in a 430 spider, installed carbon fibre race seats it transformed the car, way better seating position, perfect for road/track.

    If you are 6'4" you will be scrunching down to look through windshield or reclining the chair so much that you will look like this lol

    That's weird Roberto. I'm 6'4" with Daytona seats and I don't need to recline way back and i'm not scrunching down to look through the windshield.

    I'm 6'5" 36" inseam 225 lbs. and fit just fine in my 360 Spider with Daytona seats.

    If your torso is longer and your inseam shorter you may have a different experience.

    Many years ago an identical height friend and I were in a Toyota dealership looking at a Supra with a sunroof. When I sat in it, it was fine. When he sat in it, he was looking out the sunroof.

    Definitely try before you buy!

    6'4/270 is going to be like putting 4 pounds of s*** in a 3 pound container. It'll work for 20 mins, but after that......
