6 foot 1, mine is a convertible and my hat has not blown off yet, even at 100 mph, and I don't have to jam my legs in to keep my head low enough!

5'8" here, and perfect for me. It also seemed a pretty good fit for one of my taller, 6'1" friends...although he complained about the steering wheel being too big...maybe hitting knees?

6'3' 220lbs. I have to have the seat all the way back but my knees still hit the stock steering wheel. the wheel is too far away also because my legs are so long and I have to push seat back. nothing a aftermarket steering wheel with extender can't fix.

6'3" with long legs and I fit fine. I just put the seat back as far as it'll go then lean the seat as far back as it can without touching anything. Like that it's very comfy. With a helmet for the track or for autocross I have to move the seat up a whole lot and lay the back down a lot to get the extra couple inches of head clearance needed. But even like that I can still drive perfectly comfortably. If you're really tall then you can take some foam out of the seat bottom to get your butt down further.

Ummm.... 6' and in my 'vert who cares, the top is allways down. In my T2 it depends on how I sit or want to drive but it seems to be a tighter fit all around but I clear just enuff for headroom.

Im 5' 10" and I have a 87 base model with non adj steering rack wich is a pain in the a$$ cause I hit the steering wheel with my knees whn trying to do heel toe, I changed to a 350mm steering wheel and now is better But I still think if I get a spacer to push it towards me will be better.

I'm 6'3", 240. Here's my analysis of fit in my FC and FD:

Mr. Grey (FC):

Seat position is okay for street use. With the seat all the way back and a significant tilt in the seat back, I can get a good 10/2 o'clock position on the steering wheel with elbows slightly bent, Formula 1 style. Leg position is not adequate for anything but tepid street driving. I want to mod the seat rail and mount points so I cant straighten out my legs with the hope of some heel/toe track functionality in the future. Aftermarket seats are also in this future. When the OEM seat was fresh and puffy, my head was very close to the roof. I doubt I could have worn a helmet in there. But now the foam in the seat is shot (I even had it repadded and that lasted about a year) and so I am sitting lower in the car.

Mr. Silver (FD):
Well, the car still isn't running, but it seems to me that the leg and arm position are just as good if not better than Mr. Grey, but the car is definitely tighter. It's an overall narrower fit side to side.

I'm 6'1'', and in the vert i have to move the seat all the way back and lean it all the way back to fit comfortably. I'm worried about my 6'4" buddy who's supposed to go to Sevenstock with me in a month. I just hope it doesn't rain so we can roll with the top down
