I'm 6'3" and I agree, 6'4-6'5 is about the limit with this car, unless you want to drive with the top down all the time

I'm 6' 4 1/2" - 200 lbs. and fit "snuggly".
I can't imagine anyone much taller fitting in there very well.
I don't have the room that someone that is 5'11" must have but the car is so much fun to drive, I hardly notice.
Plus, I am a top down only kinda guy and that really helps.

You guys really need to lower your seats! I am 6'3" also and it isn't about comfort, it is about having the top of your head lower than the roll hoops for me. With the seat lowered I am about dead even with the hoops but still very scary if something should happen. When I get the money I am going to get after market seats with low profile rails.

How did you lower your seat? Brute-force banging on the seat pan method?

I'm 6'3" 210 pounds and mostly legs. I wouldn't mind sitting an inch or two lower in the car, but my problem is the leg room. My legs are entirely too close to the wheel for my liking.

Yeah, it is really easy and you will love it once you are done. I have enough room to now move the seat forward some and lean the seatback so that I am not sitting straight up. I just lowered the back of the seat part and that worked out great. Take your pan out, flip it upside down, put a socket over the exposed stud and beat the crap out of it with a hammer, done.

I need some more info on this. I can't picture what part of the car you're supposed to hit. Anyone have any photos?
