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'm 6'2. I tend to lean back a little more in cars due to neck and back issues, so my seat is forward a little so I can tilt it back. Stock seats with a smaller flat-bottom steering wheel for extra knee room, and a steering wheel disconnect that moves the wheel a couple inches closer to me. Still have several inches of extra head room with the top on. Guess it basically depends on your individual body proportions and how you sit.
