Daytona length

[41husk]

What is the total length of a Daytona?  Will it fit in a 20x20 garage?

[DC_1]

I remember reading 226.5 inches at one time, so a little less than 19'

[41husk]

Thanks!  Should fit in a 20' garage

[3--Daytona]

Yeah  Husk  It will fit  very carefully,,,,,put a concrete block in front of wheel, SO you will stop just before you put nose in wall.
I allways called them 18 ft,.

Not much room to spare!

A conventionally framed garage that is 20'x20' (outside to outside, which is a normal way of calling this out) with 2x4 studs, no sheetrock, and a garage door will be about 231" inside.  With 2x6 and sheetrock it'll be around 226".  Measure before you buy.

Good luck!

I measured from back wall to where the Garage door meets is 20' 11"  The property is right across the street from my Mopad and has 6 lots with it all fenced in so eventually I will build a nice shop.  If I get this I will have enough room to have a car show across the street from the Mopad.

Yes should, but as noted carefully. Put up padding as well in case that concrete block creeps ( I've always used old tires) ...

Thanks. I like the idea of a tennis ball dangling from the cieling that just meets the windshield when you get where you need to be.

I always back my car in because a rear bumper is way cheaper then a nose cone . once its in and against the wall i have about 4 inches space  .

I used to do that for my ex-wife since her method was bumping my tool box to determine she was in the garage all the way. But I hated it hanging in the way when the car wasn't there and I was working on something in the garage.

I ended up buying one of these laser pointers for cheap.

I put a outlet adapter in the garage door light socket so the laser light would only go on when the garage door opener light was on. That way it was only on when needed during pulling her car in.

btw, you don't have a laser light beam but more of just a dot that shows up on the car as you pull in. The illustration I attached in the picture looks like you are beaming the car up to the USS Enterprise!

Come to think of it, I always have backed mine in too, but that's because I like easy access to under hood to disconnect battery, and if she doesn't start. But am thinking  I won't have a choice with the Daytona and it will have to go in nose first, we'll see.
You make a good point Stu - better a bumper than a nose...

Good thing is it works even if you back in. You just point the laser to a spot you can see on the hood when your backing in. You don't even have to turn your head to look out the back window.

I rented a garage for the bird years ago that had a concrete back wall.I put a piece of cardboard against the wall and just touched it with the back bumper,then i had one inch that the garage door handle cleared the nose cone.It was close ,but it fit.  Rick.

Still have to make sure you're centered correctly, or off goes the mirror, or there goes the paint or....

If I know you are comming I might even put an air-conditioner in the window.

A 20'  X 20' garage is measured from the outside. Don't forget to take the wall thickness into consideration.
