Default Am I too tall?

Hi. The Chicago Auto Show is but a mere month away, but I'm sure you folks can answer my question. I am 6'2". It's horrible. I have to shop around for clothes because I'm too tall. I can't be a tanker in our glorious Army because the cutoffs 6'1". Someone told me that, if I want to fit in an S2000, I'd have to chop off my legs from knees down and throw some pegs on my kneecaps to drive it. Tell me it isn't so!

You should be fine. I know there are members here just as tall as you, and also enjoy their s2000's very much. In fact, I'm just too short. Your about a foot taller than me haha. Being short gives me more room (behind the seat) in the s2000.

You'll be fine, I'm 6'3 and I manager just fine. Knees are a bit close to the dash, but nothing too bad.

do you live in a midget colony? 6'2 really isn't that tall. i'm just under 6'3 and have no problem. the first time i sat in the car it felt really tight but after driving for a while and getting used to the tight roadster feel you get used to it.

6'6" and it's "snug". You have to try it on for size though. Keep the radio door closed, seat upright and all the way back.
