>>>I drove your Ferrari 308 from Texas to California to deliver it to new 
(and current) owner Rick Moseley.   Your recollection is correct.   They have 
quite a bit more room than a Pantera inside, and are certainly more 
comfortable.   I'm six feet tall and had to have the seat several clicks forward of 
the rearmost position to be seated correctly.

I would suggest that the 308 Kirby tried had 'issues' and the seat wasn't 
all the way back.

I've seen the 308 that was used in Magnum PI; they had to cut the floorpan 
and bolt the seat to the floor and Tom Selleck was still never really 'in' 
that car; his head stuck out through the top and there is no way they could 
fit the roof on.
