Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 355 exhaust manifolds or thoughts on buying one...

[Dennis Liu (BigHeadDennis]

Dude, seriously, just go SIT in a 348 for about 10 minutes.  You'll feel the
rigid, high bolsters cutting into your thighs and lower back.  Ugh.  You can
install aftermarket seats which will vastly improve things, but still won't
help with the leg room issue - it may be better for you RHD folks, but my
leg went numb because I couldn't move it to the right but had to hold it on
the throttle all the time.
 
Seriously, just 10 minutes will help you decide!
 
vty,

Thanks for that Dennis. Unfortunately I am not a size 32 waist and a larger
car would be helpful. My old Dad had a lot of trouble getting in and out of
the 328 when we drove around France in 2003 because it was so small.
Unfortunately it is hard to get a test drive because so many people here
wont let you drive their car since they think you are only looking at it to
play....plus the insurance issues make it very hard to drive other peoples
cars here in the UK; thats why I have to ask the list for help.
