Never thought about the feet size haha I'm 6'2 and got 15 1/2, is there not much room down there?

There wasn't enough room in the foot-well tunnel for me to be comfortable w/out angling my feet in all different directions. Honestly my foot size is why I'm planning to get E-Gear rather than manual, although I love manual cars. It's just not as busy and cramped w/E-Gear in the Gallardo. Not so sure about the Murci.

I'm 6.0 and i fit fine in my Diablo, though there's not much room left...
Shoes are the problem though, so racing shoes or similar are required (width being the issue, not length)

6' , Belgian, do you by any chance also shave your head and wear glasses?
In that case I will give up my search for the ultimate Espada and buy a nice red Diablo. Jeez!

I hope your driveway access is flat, I just took a large chunk out of the front spoiler again when I tried to turn back on one

Will our french fried join us? I'm sure Tahiti should stretch its legs

Talking Do a Shaq...stretch it

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif. — Basketball great Shaquille O'Neal got special treatment for his Lamborghini Gallardo — a stretched version thanks to Gaffoglio Family Metalcrafters, a supplier for such corporations as the Boeing Company and PPG Aerospace Glass. The longer Lambo has 12 inches added through the middle, surely a relief for the 7-foot-1-inch athlete.

The Gallardo received custom extended doors, roof and side windows. The company says it strove to maintain the car's "visual integrity" with the changes. Glass fabrication was a particular challenge, the company said. "We relied on our aerospace and coachworks divisions to make sure Shaq could fit in the car, but the naked eye could not detect any differences from the original Gallardo," Gaffoglio CEO George Gaffoglio said.




Shaquille O'Neal needed some length added to his Lamborghini Gallardo. The 7-foot-1 basketball star fits a little more comfortably now.
