I'm 6'2" and I have enough room. But when I'm at an autocross wearing a helmet, I dont have a fitted one so I have to race with the helmet in the sunroof tracks.

wow really, i read something comparing the 944 and fc's. the 944 was a little bigger but basically the same size. i'm not especially tall but i sometimes feel like a damn cricket driven a small car. feels like i'm gonna start a fire with my nuts squished

I'm 6'3", sometimes 6'4", depending on how you measure me, I guess. I fit fine in my fc. Tilt steering would be nice, but I'm ok without it. Sometimes my head rubs, but I can just lean the seat back a little more.
Here's a nice way to gauge it: If I sit straight up (my back off of the seat), the roof is about 1 1/2" or 2" too low.

I'm 6'4" and i fit only in verts without fabrication work on the seat brackets
you will NEED a smaller steering wheel
i have a 36" inseam so my legs are always a problem
i bolted the stock seat directly to the mounts without the brackets in my GTU (rip)
dont even try to fit into a 3rd gen..you'll get stuck and it will create an emabrassing situation
also, if are into fabrication, you can just make some crossmembers to make the car just as stiff as a coupe, its on my to-do list

godamn most of you guys are over 6 feet im almost there. maybe if i loose 50 poundz maybe i can regain a inch so i can join the 6' tall rx7 krew. lol. hey are u 6' ft guys white?. cause i tend to notice that white people tend to be much taller and older looking than us hispanics. i see hs students in long island and they loook like college students. i look at hs students in queens and they look younger like jhs students i dunno. lol
