im 6'4 280 and i fit comfortablily in a f-body its hard for me to get in and out the passenger side of an f-body tho! hang up on getting in most imports, mustangs and the back seat of anything.

gtos have a lot of leg room. vettes are not to bad either, and 4th gen honda preludes have a lot of leg room from my personal observations

That's why we dads are sitting at the kitchen table cleaning the .45 when a nice young man comes inside to meet us.

Never had a problem with them bringing her home late..........

Wow, yeah I would look into getting the seat farther back, maybe modding your stock seat. Good luck..

What is the seat mod, where you mod it to go farther back so you have more leg room? I'm about 6' 1" but have never had enough leg room in these cars. Anybody know or have a link?

If you remove the driver seat and look at the front of the sliders you will see a notch in them that stops the seat from going all the way back. Bend it out of the way and you will get another 1" or 2 to play with. It realy helps out alot.

Hahahah, Just so you know, im 6'3", and have a long list of athletic accomplishments, do I meet the standard? But really, the first time I sat in my car, I was suprised how well I fit in it. Many of the Vehicles I have driven, I dont fit real comfortably in any of them. As previously stated, Im 6'3",tall considering Im still in High School, but not nearly as tall as some of you. But I weigh almost 300 pounds. I take up alot of space, and suprisingly I fit perfectly in my Trans Am. Just dont try to sit behind me.

You could put a Kirky seat in it and mount it to the floor. I'm 6'5'' ish 300lbs and I don't really have an issue with my car. It's going to suck once the roll bar goes in though!

I fit perfectly fine, just tilt the seat back some i guess that can help a lot.

My friend is a bit heavier, like 6'1 350+ and he looks really uncomfortable in it, it must be the weight that does it.
