My wife really likes to grab on my thick...oh wait, wrong thread.


FWIW..I have a Dino. Very similar to the Momo in size/shape.

Funny so many tall people in these cars... 6'3 with the extra-gravitational-force mod and I like it a lot. I have a 6'7 cousin and he has a 924S.

It's amazing how much larger on the inside these are than their 1980's sports car contemporaries.

I've had a Momo steering wheel for over 5 years now and it has held up quite well, it's still almost like new.

Don't ask me how they do it, but it's one of the best investment I've made to my 944.

For what it's worth...

My dad is 6'8 and i'm 6'2 and the flat steering wheel which I just recently put in is much better than the stock one. You have a nice wheel that you can hold onto and can get out easier now.

Wow, this thread took off while I wasn't looking.

Thanks for all the replies guys! I starting looking for 944s after heard a 6' 9" guy say it was the most comfortable car that he'd driven. Granted, I fit just fine in my Monte Carlo and F150, but those are a bit larger than a nice little sports car.

I'll look into the Momo and Dino steering wheels then. I'm fine once I get in the car but I find that I have to choose between hitting the steering wheel or the parking brake and the wheel usually seems like the safer bet.
