I went to look at a '96 RT-10 yesterday and when I sat in it, it was apparent that the top of my head was a few inches over the top of the windscreen. With the soft-top on, my head was touching the top and I had to bend my neck. I'm not that tall (6'2") but my back is disproportionately long. Are there any tall RT-10 owners about? Indeed, how many RT-10s are in the UK? How has this situation been resolved? Cheers,

Hamish

You can get seat lowering kits for an additional inch or two. I just installed one for my 97 GTS.

Greetings
I have a slightly different take on the initial question. My wife is 5'2". We are considering selling our Lotus and buying a Viper. Will the seat adjust sufficiently to allow her to drive the car?
Thanks

She might have some difficulty seeing over the bonnet.

Five foot tow is a tad short for an RT/10 generation one but OK for a gen two car with adustable pedals, I am only 5'6" and I can sit far too close to the screen and pedals

Thanks for both the replies. When we start shopping we'll definitely focus on the gen2 version.
