Default Tall guys how is the fit?

I was just wondering how some of you taller guys fit in a F bod. Im 6'6 with sandals on and around 6'7 with my boots on and yesterday I finally got to really sit in one and try to get comfortable. Now that was a chore. I basically had to lay the seat down and scoot as far back as I could and my knee was still hitting the dash.

How do yall do it?

I'm 6'3", 200lbs and with the slider all the way back I fit just perfect. On long road trips, my Z28 is actually more comfortable for me than my Cavalier.

Hey man i am same as you anywhere from 6'6" to 6'8" with boots. I fit just fine thanks to the t-tops giving me that little bit extra. It is a little tough when i got my Ariats on but i manage. I have my seat scooted all the way back and lean back about 20-25 degrees i would say. But i find it very comfortable once i got used to it. Seriously the most comfortable sports car i have sat in in my opinion. I hear GTOs are the best but just too heavy for me

How is the car on longer trips? I can imagine with a little adjustment the seats will fit pretty dang good.

6'2'' it's easy getting in, sucks getting out. I put the seat all the way back and lean it back a bit and its not too bad.

I'm with you. And I'm shorter. I like my legs to be straight out in front of me.

It feels like sitting in the backseat of a Geo!!! I have the seat all the way back and Im in that 5'11" category. Id have to say the worst car Ive been in is a Pontiac Solstice. Well I did lay in the hatch area of a Nissan March for 950km when I was in Japan. I was drunk so it didnt matter

I guess that plays into why it doesn't bother me, I have an A4.

6'1 185 and I don't have any problems really. I would like a little bit more room, but I like the "****-pit" feeling.
