Is there anybody out there who knows if a 308 GTS or a 328 GTS will
suit a 196 cm tall person (6 feet 5 inch).
Tom Seleck's is 193 tall and fits in his famos 308 ; ) - which gives me some hope.

Which modifications could be done to get a bit more "space" ?

Thanks
Peter

Hey Pedro,

Sorry to say this, but it is horrible :x
I am 1.89m and drive a 328gts and its a real torture to get in
Roof off and not behind the seat :idea:
Seat one or two clicks to the front and the backrast al the way backwards.
With rain roof on and sitting in a curve to the right!
But the joy of the car makes up a lot :wink:
You can lower the drivers seat and helps a little

Actually, for Mr. Selleck the padding was removed from the seat, the seat was removed and bolted in the farthest position from the steering wheel and you never see him with the roof on.

Pete,

thanks a lot for your answer.

Kind regards
Peter

A very tall person. He was the lead actor in the TV series Magnum PI. It was an American show, not sure if it was ever in UK. He was also in Friends for awhile.

You will fit, just not comfortably over a long period. When are you hoping to get the 308?

 

[buzzlightyr]

not comfortable :-?
can you think of any ferraris that would be for a man who is 6ft5 at around the 40k mark.
And i was aiming to get it mid 2004 after doing more reaserach on the car i want , there re so many lol

Well the 550, 575 and 456 all would hold you comfortably. Hope to see you get that 308/328. Keep us posted and read through this forum there are lots of talk on this car. In the future I'm going to make subForums for popular models.

and how uncomfortable are we talking about here, and when you say a long drive do you mean more than a hour etc and is this problem just because of head hight would a targa top help.....

where can i test drive one in the uk (london)

too small

Ferrari 308/328 are too small for tall drivers.

Not my experience, up to 6'4" you should be fine.

 

[DonJuan348]

Majority of tall owners 188 and over find the 308-355 too cramped.360/430, 456-575 are better choices
