Default Enzo, F50, F40, RSR etc 25-04-2007 (UPDATE!)

So this is a close friends enzo, the structure behind the car is actually his garage...look at some of the other cars in his collection; F40, F50 and a 1973 2.8 Porsche RSR that actually competed in le mans under the max moritz racing name, crashing out in the night stint of the race! We drove on the road in the enzo, going up to about 300km/h (190mph)

OH, and just as proof...its actually me trying to sit upright in the F50!
Not the kind of car you want to drive if you are 6ft 2"! The peddals are too close to each other and overall just too cramped! But still an amazing car to look at! I've also been in the RSR, it makes you feel like you actually are in le mans, the sound is amazing!

Be prepared to never drive with shoes again, as the pedals are spaced with almost no clearance between them! I kept on pushing down the brake and gas pedal at the same time when I was sitting in it!

I dont even need my heel...my one foot is wider than the gas pedal and actually touches the brake pedal if just pushing down on it.

Maybe you didn`t have the right boots.
The F 50 it`s a racing machine, Ferrari even supplied a pair of racing shoes, the ones with the narrow sole.

From what i read, pedals can/must be adjusted to owner's will. I suppose that the previous owner had tight feet
