    I have a friend.... Ex NBA player and we were talking the other evening about cars he has owned and cars he wants to own. The Enzo subject came up and he doubted he would be able to fit well enough to enjoy the experience. He has owned a 360 and was able to drive although it was not exactly an SUV from a space and comfort standpoint. Is anybody on FCHAT familiar with anybody of that size that has sat in, driven, or even owned and Enzo and let me know what their experience was/is like with the car?

    Much Thanks

    Don't know that I can help on the 'width' issue, but I don't think height will be a problem. My partners brother is 6ft6 and has no issues in the passenger seat what so ever.

    Pedals are adjustable althought I don't know by how much, I'm a normal 6ft and have never needed to adjust anything other than the seat.

    On the seat subject, there are different sizes, small, medium and large, this related to width aswell as depth of the bucket I think, so if he were serious about a purchase, I'd reccomend trying one with large seats and see if there were any adjustment in the pedals.



    Regards

    If he fits in a 360 there should be no problem I would think.

    Not sure but I can say not a chance in an F40. I'm 6'6" 260 (lean) and had to be shoehorned into the F40. No way I could safely drive it. 430 I fit ok in. Gallardo coupe is the smallest car I have ever been in...well I didn't even make it all the way in

    My boss is 6'6 and fits in our Enzo just fine. He said he fits in that way better than a 360.........

    I was taking pictures at Steve Harris Imports in SLC and Mehmet Okur came in to drive a 599, he fit just fine and he is 6'11... Don't think it would be a problem in the Enzo

    I'm 6'9''/6'10'' and fit in a 360 with the racing seats (smaller steering wheel + spacer is much preferred though).

    Enzo is bigger inside, so yes!

    Appreciate the responses. I've told him that I thought he would shoehorn in just fine.. but he's never taken the time to locate one and try it on for size. The Enzo always appeared to me to be more spacious.

    I think a lot depends on torso vs leg length. As you say a smaller steering wheel, modified seating and even moving the pedals can make a huge difference. If anyone in Europe want's to modify any of the above I can suggest a shop that can do a good job of it.

    Even Vintage cars can be modified in a way that can be put back without issue and is almost imperceptible.

    A car that fits is a LOT more fun to drive.

    + infinity.

    I've got very long legs, torso is normal so I normally have just enough headroom.
