170lb 6' and 13.5 shoe. You people with problems must be putting your foot flat on the pedal. I rest my heal further back and use the ball of my foot or my toes and have never had an issue. Adapt your driving style to work if you do have issues

haha, na i dont have a sun roof

Just have the seat all the way back and then have it lean back quite a bit. I have gorilla arms tho so i dont have any problems with reaching the wheel.
I have my right foot lent over slightly so my heel rests in front of the brake pedal and then accelerate with the ball of my fool. It does get uncomfortable after a few hours. Im going to look at relocating the seat back anoth inch on the rails or something so that i can have the seat touching the back seat ( 2+2 J spec ) as i never have anyone in there back behind me anyway

I'm 6'2 with size 14 feet. The only possible way I can get my feet in is to angle my knees outward and have my feet slanted to the outside. This actually works pretty well for me. I can use the e-brake as a knee rest....
I have RAZO pedals. I also have an aftermarket racing bucket that sits lower than stock. My dad, who is 6'7, can actually fit in without too much problem.

I rest my heel on the floor while driving, unless I'm heel-toeing. I might not have "mad tight JDM super duper control"... but I've never had a problem getting exactly the amount of throttle control I need.

What the hell kind of seats do you have? Booster?

I'm 5'9" and have quite a bit of clearance with GXL seats (and the Sport ones I used to have).

I have gxl seats too. I think my problem is I have a long torso and a ginormous head. haha
