Question about headroom

I'm new here, and was just wondering about headroom issues. For tall guys liek me (6'4'') can you drive it comfortably? Thanks


I did a search but couldn't come up with anything specific on headroom like this post is.

Re: Question about headroom

Im bout 6'4" and there is plenty of room. I have the seat back all the way and leaned back a little. Its very comfortable and it feels fast just sitting there.

Re: Question about headroom

Some people complain about not fitting. I think it depends on HOW it is you are tall. If you have long legs, you'll be fine. If you have tall upperbody, you might not be fine

Re: Question about headroom

Cars with T-tops will have a bit extra head room.


Even more with the tops removed!

Re: Question about headroom

I,m six foot and the only complaint I have is when I have a helmet on it bounces around the inside of the T top and pisses me off.
I like a more straight up seating position though.
Never had a problem without the helmet.

Re: Question about headroom

I am a little over 6'2" and I have plenty of room, and I sit pretty straight up too - way more than most people probably do. You should be okay at 6'4" still, but probably not much more. I do have to sit down a little bit when I have a helmet on at the track, but just slightly.

Re: Question about headroom

I'm not as tall as you guys, but I have a pretty long upper body. In my hard top V6 and my convertible Z28, my head never came close to touching the roof. They both had power adjustable driver seats, and I always had them as far down as they can go. That might have something to do with it.

Re: Question about headroom

I'm 6'3", and don't sit with the seat all the way back, and it's not too reclined either. I have gobs of room over my head.

Re: Question about headroom

I'm 6'3, and sit mid-reclined, and am very comfortable in my car; the only issues are with a helmet on it's a little tight, otherwise there's no issues.
