Me too, plus I lower the center of gravity with my belly 😜

Ha, yeah there's a lifelong battle for us food/beer lovers..

It wasn't bad actually; plenty of leg room, had to keep seat forward a little. My gripe was the headrest (all part of the seat) being short.

Also, size 13 feet with small sneakers on and still the clutch and brake were way too close. When I pressed the clutch, a few times I would catch my braking foot and apply them on accident.

Might have to get a hair cut, I’m 6ft 6” 😬

When it comes to sports cars I'm so happy to be on the shorter side...

They have a really nice Pantera there in their small showroom, I thought of you, but forgot to take a picture. It's on their website if you look it up, Lotus of Western New York.

Thanks! Yep that was the car that was my big letdown. She sure looked pretty though..

Your size and headroom please

Your size and headroom please

I'm 6 feet, about 220lbs, but with a fairly long torso, not so long legs. I could wear a crash helmet in the Emira. My head was touching the ceiling, but it was fine, with no lid, would be totally fine. The Evora had slightly less headroom but could still wear the lid with no major issues. The Evora felt more cramped inside than the Emira and the Emira is a much nicer place to be. Plenty of legroom in Emira, Evora also had legroom to spare. Can't comment on pedals as they were AT cars.

ingress/Egress, well let's say it's not graceful in the Evora, but is manageable. Emira felt a bit easier to get in and out, but it's still a low car that presents some challenges, and needs some technique to do gracefully (which i am yet to master)
