Tallest driver in Exige S2?

[fergus]

I'm 6'6" and although currently driving a Caterham (with lowered floor), I fancy an Exige S2 as it's slightly less compromised. Problem is that I'm not sure whether I will fit...

Can any S2 drivers on here who are over 6'4" or have a "long back" comment on how they find the car size wise.

Alternatively, what can be done to the seat to drop it as far as possible, even -10 or -20mm would help!

thanks

I'm six foot with very long legs (and consequently a short torso) and I have about 4-5 inches of headroom spare in the Elise. If you're "ape positive" and 6'6, I think you'll be tight.

thks. Are there any specific seat options I should be looking at on potential cars prior to trying them for size? Are the probax (?) seats set lower in the car than std seats?

I believe Probax seats give marginally less headroom than non-Probax ones.

I'm 6'2" and fit in without too many problems

Avoid Cup cars as the different rollcage prevents the seat going so far back.

Fixed seat mounts will give a lower position.
Soft top gives more headroom than the hardtop (maybe consider single skin roof).

I am 6'4", and fit in it OK.
No touring pack on the 111R, so single skinned roof as mentioned earlier does help. Only issues I do have is when going down hill and the road start to go back up in front of me. Then I need to tilt my head to see far enough ahead.

I'm 6ft 4in, no problem with 111R and hard top roof. Go on, you know you want to.....

6.2ft all legs (don't laugh) and I need seat full back although head room is ample, if you are anywhere near Hertfordshire you are welcome to see if you fit.
