How tall is everyone? Do you fit well in your car?

[alwaysbored786]

I'm 5'11" tall and I fit rather well with room to spare. I was wondering if there are any rather tall owners out there and was looking for some input on if you fit, and how tall you are? Asking since I may have a potential buyer who is 6'4" and is wondering how he would fit and how comfortable the ride will be.

Thanks!

A lean 6'2 at about 12 stone. No problems at all. In fact I slide the seat forward quite a bit and then pull the steering wheel out to maximum. That seems to suit me.

Clarkson fitted in OK. How tall is he?

A 6'5" friend of mine always raises a concern that his head sits slightly above the internal "cage" along with such phrases as "slow down", "that gap isn't big enough" and "no, no, no, please let me out"

I'm 6-4 and 17st with long legs. I had real trouble in my M400 with the standard steering wheel - my knees didn't fit under it unless I had the seat all the way back, at which point the wheel was too far away. sjc is the same. We have both fitted an extended steering boss and a slightly smaller wheel - problem solved. Remember driver's seat has 3 (or is it 4) reclining positions (has to come out of the car to adjust it). I have mine on the most reclined allowing me to almost lie down driving. Very comfortable and no headroom issues. As for a regular M12 - I'm not convinced anything I could do would work as I have too little headroom and my back is too wide for the seats...

Just the same. Had a sit in the 600 could not see a thing. Surprisingly comfortable on long journeys

I'm 6'4 and 20 stone ish and I have no problems fitting in my GTO3.
All I have done is fit a removable steering wheel boss to bring the wheel 2" closer too me.
I fit OK even with a helmet on for track days.

Hang on a minute. I started this off at 12 stone, it then went to 14, 17 and now 20. Where's this heading coz the power to weight is starting to look a bit poor!

I was thinking this looks like the start of the Noble Harlequins rugger team.

The only issue I have is with headroom when wearing a helmet on track, have to really slouch down in the seat, means I'm wedged between seat & roof, which isn't ideal! 6"2 & 16 stone

Sounds like my wife. She's 5ft & 7 stone. She literally needs 2 cushions under her and 2 behind. She then sits bolt upright against the steering wheel. She's the only person to ever drive my car without spooling the turbos up. Seriously, not a peep from them! What a waste of power to weight...

Hehehe!!!!
6ft 4" and wheel extension is a must. I fitted the M600 steering wheel and found reading the speedo difficult.
