I'm 6'-1' and I've already cut down my seat cushion so I sit at a more comfortable level and can see out my rear view mirror.
Teenhulk, my 16 year old son is now 6'-3" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Just in the last month he's grown 1/2". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) If he grows much more he'll have to rethink his 914 project, maybe lower the drivers floor in the seating area.

I had a POC driving instructor some years ago who was a 'big guy'. Now I'm around 5'9" 175lbs and my car is set up for me with a full 10pt cage and tight non-adjustable race seats...It was comical watching the guy get in and out of the car. His body barely fit between the seat bolsters so he was practically sitting on top of them. The car was noticeably slower too. But we pulled it off!
