I’m devastated! Can’t fit in an F40!!!

NOO! I'm almost 6'1! I hope i stop growing soon. You could get one with a bubble built into the roof. Jeremy Clarkson couldn't fit in a GT40 until he found one with a bubble built into it and lower seats.

 

Did you sit in the driver's seat? I mean you can't drive from the right side there you know.

Second of all, I am 6'1, all of 220 lbs and I have no issues at all fitting in my F40.

Try the left side. For some reason the right side of my car is a bit crammed up too.

 

I'm 5-10, and my car fits like a glove... But I have 2 inches of headroom and extra seat travel left. You May have better luck in driver's side and in standard seats... Don't fret.

Also check with Roland Linder. Never met him but IIRC he's about 6-3.


Simon.

 

Awesome! I'm glad I'm 5'10", too, so I can easily fit in cars like these. It would suck if I was something like 6'6" because I think an F40 would be impossible. F50 would be do-able with the top removed, but still leg cramped.

 

Roland is definitely taller than I am and, even with a helmet, seems to fit in his F40 just fine... I've never been on the left side, but I fit in on the left side just fine (at 5'11" and 240+ lbs)...

 

I'm 6'4" 220lbs and while not comfortably ,still can fit and drive F40(last time was in late 90's but was the same size)

 

you could have your legs surgically shortened !

man! that sux!

i'm having a problem with a low front apron on my dream car.
if i brought it home i couldnt get it down the driveway or into the garage.

 

Don't fret, when you can afford an F40 you will have some one fit you to it, at least that is my plan. Regardless, lets see more pics of that F40 with the Enkei's!!

 

hmm...I'm 6'3

Its been a long time since Ive ridden and driven one. But I remember I fit alot better in the driver seat than the passenger seat. I drove one w/o issue.

I notice that those seats aren't the US spec seats? Might make a minimal difference?

 

Hehehe.... FYI - those are OZ Racing wheels, but they do look a bit like the Enkeis. And though I certainly want people of all sizes to enjoy Ferrari ownership, I always secretly chuckle a bit when you tall guys complain about how cramped you are in them. I'm 5' 7" and I got picked last for playground basketball every day of my grade school life. My revenge is that I fit perfectly in my F40.

 

Yes, but you have to remember that Roland's car was rebuilt to fit him.

 

Tim, try a F50. Might be a better fit. Plus you could configure it into an open top car.

 

Sorry I just thought you were ranting. If you are looking for an F40 then good luck! I am certain that you will be able to make yourself fit. Once you get the car I would find a highly qualified shop, bring to them and let them worry about it; they do this kind of stuff for a living and will be able to make it work. Let us know how your search goes and post more pics!

 

I'm 6'3" 180lbs and fit fine in the driver's seat.

 

I am 6'2" and weigh 215. Drove several F40's and never had a problem.

 

I'm 6-1 with a 32" inseam and have no problems fitting into an F40.

 

Bwaahaahaa! That's what I was thinking. We can also fit in any racecars.

(I'm 5'8)

 

I'm probably a good fit for a formula car

 

I've never been happier to only be 5'6

 

How tall are you? Best height is around 5'6 to 5'9

 

5'4" guess i'm a tad short. Oh well, steve's f40 fits me nicely.
