Default 98-01 formula hardtop headroom ???
So is my 99 hardtop formula going to have less headroom than a ls1 t top vehicle ? I can see both sides but i dont know . Also i dont have the car in hand yet to look so i was just curious.

The car still has t-top cut outs in the roof. No difference. It looks just like a t-top car with the sun shades on. All it is is a fiberglass cap over the top instead of windows.

I'm 6'2 as well and never had a problem with a helmet. The seats are low so you should be fine.

My bro's about 6'2" and he doesn't enjoy getting in, but he's never really complained about room otherwise.

Headroom hasn't ever been an issue for me BUT the damn sun-visor had to go. It screwed with my vision of the road!
