In the Pantera the driver foot wells and pedal locations are to narrow for my size 12-1/2 to 13W shoes to operate the pedals comfortably.
Scott.
Well why do you think the vast majority of race car drivers of the era are the size and weights of jockeys? For Gurney, who was 6-1 and a slight build they had to extend the roof with a bubble for his head.
There aren't ANY gorillas that I can think of that will fit in these cars.
It's just the nature of the beast for GT's to be tight. If you can't fit a Pantera, forget about a GT40 and even though they may have two "seats", they are really only intended to be for the driver.
They derived from the Lola GT and I don't think that car was ever seriously intended to be a street car?
I think it was the C5 Corvette where the "Press" thought they coined the phrase, "climbing the fence" because of the wide rockers and deep seat location. Those folks OBVIOUSLY never reviewed the GT40. Those aren't even rockers, those are pontoons.
They must be in the 15 to 20 inch wide vicinity?
The seats are fastened to the floor and more closely resemble something like the current 4c Alfa Romeo where the seats are part of the molded platform and you adjust the pedals, not the seats.
