the Fc is bearable with the seat out. still a pain to get up when your done poking around.

yea, i just recline the seat and lay on it upside-down. after a couple minutes you get used to all the blood being in your head... until you need to get up and your legs are all numb and tingly.



The only shoes I can drive in are my converses, everything else is too big. So i take them off and drive barefoot. That helps, cause now i have the extra half-inch or so of legroom, which just barely makes it possible for me to heal & toe. I need some thinner seats or something

im not talking about laying under the dash, im talking about driving, the porsche gives you a sliver of room between the top of your foot and the bottom of the dash, with the porsche style of pedals your foot slips off the top of the pedal and gets squished between the dash and the pedal.



i'm 6'7", have a size 15 shoe and im 100x more comfortable in my fc then in most any other car, even my g/f's vw is less comfortable. as for needing extra room to heel-toe......why pick your foot up so high>? plus if you have a size 13 foot you should be able to heel toe without trying. hell i can put one side of my foot on the brake and the other side on the gas in my fc...not heel-toe but left-right it's a lot easier then heeltoeing when you have a big foot .

eh, my foot always slides between the pedals when i try that. its long but thin (REFERRING TO MY FOOT!). Im not sure about the coupes, but in my vert, the seat is as far back as it goes, and reclined all the way. I have enough room, but whenever I try to heal-toe with shoes, my knee hits the bottom of the steering wheel, preventing me from twisting my leg far enough. Without shoes, i guess that extra fraction of an inch is enough.

is the vert steering wheel adjustable? i have more room in my t2 cause the wheel is adjustable my s4 n/a is a little tighter. I'm only like 205lbs and 6'7" tho...and most of my height is in my torso....and in my pants lol.
