Driver Height/Size per each Gen Rx7
 
Maybe this has been asked before but as an individual who is 6'7"(201cm) I wanna try to get a feel if I can fit in any generation Rx-7. So whats the biggest/tallest person who've seen in a specific series 7?

(If this has been discussed a link to the thread would be great.)

i'm 6'2 got a football build @ about 300lbs, and i fit fine.

the biggest thing about these cars is they are made for long legs, not tall torsos

Alright, I'm pretty evenly distributed, but still I got 5" on you, looks like head room might be a concern. It's pretty tight in my 8, but still comfortable.

Thanks.

Anybody else? Your height and year or generation you drive.

Iduley is right. I'm 6' but have shorter legs and long torso. I don't fit that well in my FB. In order for my feet to comfortably reach the pedals I have to move the seat up and end up with my head way to close to ceiling and sun shades. These cars are really not designed to fit a tall person, not like a 240Z that has plenty of headroom. You just need to sit in one with the seat all the way back and see how far you need to recline the seatback to not hit the ceiling.

I can only suggest Reading some info in the Various "Gen Specific" sections as I have been here for years and have not come across an owner that has posted info on all 3 Gens about driver height in ONE thread.
I have however ran across a fair amount of info on Each Gen in their perspective Sections.
Since there is a lot of info and it is there for you to seek I wish you luck.

OH!..suggestion!..look at some of the Seat Fitment threads too..they can give you suggestions on what to Place in the car to accomodate a larger framed guy.
I know some lads will take the rails out and attach the seat to the floor.

Good call, thanks.

I'm 5'11 and I have to be careful not to hit my head when I'm climbing into my first gen rx7. Once I'm in the car there is no problem but climbing in I just take it slower than I normally would.
