I'm a short **** at 6ft 1" and 224lbs but I find the seat does not go back far enough. It helps if I recline the back a bit, but for such a big car it's cramped.

The seats could go back another 4" as the back seats are only big enough for kids.

lets see those PICS

i vallet parked cars for 3 years and now i can drive anything with the seat crammed forward. im almost 6'4" and i had to park old ladies cars without moving their seats it was pretty rough, i think i actually prefer to be closer to everything because ive let people who are 5'8" drive my car and they said the seat was just fine for them. i did have trouble in my 65 mustang though, my knees barely cleared the steering wheel and i looked like a brick wall in that car. it just had a tiny interior.

I'm 6'7" honestly. Many of the cars I've owned I've had to rip out the front seats and grab some flat stock to extend the track and rebolt the seats so they would extend back an extra 3-4". I haven't done this w/ my '00 Z28, the adjustments on the driverside seem to make it tolerable for me.

I'm 6'5" 250 and i have no problem driving. I have the seat all the way back, the back rest tipped a little back and the entire seat tipped up a little and the steering wheel tipped down 2 clicks.

I have sent you a PM, I would like more details on this mod as my seat does not go back far enough for me to get comfortable!

Im 6'4 and 195lbs and i just have the seat all the way back and its ok i guess. The only problem is turning and shifting at the same time, my knee always hits the steering wheel.
