Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 355 Advice [Ferrari Digest, Vol 24, Issue 43]

[David Thursby (david]

At 6'4", all Ferraris seem to be a compromise. Whatever :)

The 355 was good, the Mondial t okay, as was the GT4. GTBs are tolerable 
and GTS with the roof on, or not behind the seat about the same. The 
Lusso is by far the most comfortable for me though. For those looking at 
Mondial t's, the 89 has narrower seats that the other years. For someone 
like me who is tall but average build, they are REALLY uncomfortable for 
any longer than about 15 minutes. I tend to sit at an angle on the seat. 
This is the only thing I do not like about the car. Anyone got some 355 
crema seats they'd like to sell?

On a related safety note, a 308/328 GTS with the roof off scares the 
living daylights out of me. My forehead is only inches away from the 
corner of the windshield frame. A decent hit and it'd be well implanted 
in my temporal lobe.
