RX-7 for me?

Hi, I hope I'm posting this in the right place. Anyway, I don't currently have an rx7, but I am really interested in getting one of the fc models. (2nd gen = fc, right?) But there is one thing that is bothering me. I am 6'3" and I don't know if I will fit. Anyone out there that is at or above my height and can tell me if I do fit, or give me modification ideas that will help me fit?

Thanks,
jpieps

I'm 6'2" and in my FC my head will just barely brush the roof. Then again I also keep the seat more upright than most people I know, so I think you'll be fine.

If you're still worried, just look for a local FC for sale and go check it out, even if you don't necessarily want it. Just try not to waste too much of their time

I have an FB (1981) and I am just shy of 6'4"...my head is almost on the roof of the car when I sit in the drivers seat...other than that, pretty comfortable ride considering how small it is
