Any tall drivers?

I'm 6'7" and considering a 550 or 575. I can fit in most Gt cars but not all, so I wondered if anyone here has any experience. I have no trouble driving a Bentley Continental, but can't get my legs in a DB9. Would I be able to fit in the 550 or 575? Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Years ago, my cousin used to play on the Diamondbacks with Randy Johnson (who's 6'10"), and my cousin told me that Randy had a 550. Said Randy had to have the seat specially fitted for his size, but other than that, there's nothing that should keep you from driving it.

that's good to know. having the seat moved back is no problem. thanks for the help!

I'm 6'5", so not quite in your league. I've owned most of the V8's from 348 - 430. Driven the V12's and they also seem fine for my size.

I am 6'5" and had 2 360 Modenas, one 360 Spider, and a 612. The 612 would be no problem at all. You should be able to fit in a 550/575 but it will depend on how your height is distributed between your legs and torso. It is definitely a possibility and they are great cars.

Good luck with the search.
