Seating in the Countach

ALA_LAMBO · #1 (**permalink**) 10-23-2005, 06:38 PM

I was wondering if anyone else here is a big guy (6 foot plus) and has trouble with the seating in their Countach. I have consulted a few local shops and some of my Viper buddies (no other Lambo guys I know of aroud here to ask). They all suggested having some of the cushioning removed from the seat to let me sit lower in the cockpit. Another person said they may be able to lower the seating position by cutting a section out of the seat brackets. I don't know about that, I have no idea how the seat is set up. All I know is at 6'4" I have a bit of a hard time getting in and out. Does anyone have any experience with this or perhaps a suggestion?

I was also looking at possibly getting a Gallardo soon, is the seating like that of the Countach? I know I was fine in the Murci I looked at a year ago, but the Gallardo has kind of caught my eye.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Their was an option for sport seats in the 25th, much lower than the electric nonsense they installed normally.

in the 25th Anniversary I had there were sports seats and height wise my friend (6ft 3") was ok, but was a little too wide.
