And I thought FD's were tiny! v.Ferrari

This past weekend I was having lunch with a business associate in a very wealthy area of Florida. The gentleman and his wife joined me in his Ferrari GTB 599 (he has another one in Switzerland).

In the past I've determined that I don't fit worth a damn in a Lambo (unless the top is down) but I've never jumped in a Ferrari before. Aston Martin's I fit ok...Lotus...not so much. While we were hanging out, another Ferrari pulled up...which I believe was a F430 Spider.

For reference sake of the pictures I'm 6'6" and 240lbls...equally proportioned...not crazy legs and no torso or the other way around. The leg room was actually nice...headroom was...tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Could I arguably say I "fit" in this. Yes...but I couldn't imagine driving it for more than 30 minutes at a time without the seats lowered a little. That being said...the seats were amazingly comfortable.

Enjoy and please forgive my ugly mug taking away from the car.

I swear to God...with no sunroof it isn't bad. I mean who are we kidding, it isn't a super perfect fit and I don't have the leg run like in a sunroof. However with the seat back all the way and a 350mm steering wheel it isn't horrid.

I think if I had a disproportionate body I would be SOL. If I ever get some low rise seats I'm fairly certain I could fit in with a helmet for the track.

Haha....head hellaflush...that was good.
