No. If you do a search you can find several discussions about different sized people fitting in FDs.

The car has a bubbled roof so that helps for tall people. If your wide, you will have a problem.

I've driven both and the RX8 is a normal car. The FD is more like being strapped in the cockpit of a jet fighter. The FD's with sunroofs have about 1 inch less headroom. If it's a concern for you, look for base or R models.

Unless you're 300lbs or 6 foot 8, fitting in an FD shouldn't be an issue. But damn it took a while figuring out the best way to get in and out of my FD. I'm 5' 11" 210lbs.
