I have a 350mm Momo Monte Carlo, and I think it's
a perfect size. FWIW, the steering wheel, short
shifter, and most importantly, the Corbeau seat I use
have significantly improved my driving ability.
The seat is the most important. It's incredible how
much easier it is to heel-and-toe when you can
concentrate solely on driving, instead of clinging
to the wheel in hard corners.

P.S. I find the Corbeau Forza is an excellent fitting
seat, but I'm 6'1", 180 lbs.
