Default 6'5.... will i fit?

ok, so im waiting on a tC, and because of the availability around here, i havent even test drove one. but i already know i want one.

my question is will i fit? i'm about 6'5, and a size 15 shoe. anyone else big like me? i've read other posts of people who are 6'1, and size 13 and below shoes (pedal spacing) so if you fall into that category, no need to reply.

I am almost your size. 6 ft 4 in, size 14 shoe. I fit pretty well as long as I am in the front and not the back. You should be ok.

6'5 and comfy...

You'll be fine as long as you don't sit up perfectly straight.

but I'd laugh at you if you did anyway.

Im 6'3", and 250 LBS. No way In hell i can comfortably fit in a tC. I had to scoot the seat all the way back , steering wheel all the way up, and I had the Seatback angle at around 45 degrees.....yeah I guess you could say I could "fit" ok, But Driving it was another problem! - The tC has a long tall hood and bad blind spots in the rear
( basically like driving a new celica for me).....

I'm 6'3" and 260ish and I fit fine. I do scoot the seat all the way back and drive with the steering wheel tilted almost all the way down. when it's tilted up it seems that I have to stretch a bit to drive with my hands at the 2 and 10. often when I drive I take sharp turns and, keeping my hands on the "bumps" on the steering wheel, I'll turn the wheel so that my left hand moves up to the 1 o'clock position or my right hand moves to the 11 o'clock position and my legs don't get in the way of my arms.

if I sit straight up, with the seat back totally upright, I'll hit my head on the roof. but with the seat reclined 2 notches and me sitting in my normal driving posture (slouching a bit) I have about 2 inches between my head and the moonroof cover. I have yet to go over a bump that throws me into the roof.

and as for my foot clipping the brake pedal, I started that thread, and I must've gotten used to it because I haven't done it in a while now. that's with the stock pedals. this week I'll probably get the racing pedals.

formulanerd, I hope this helps.

It all depends on how you adjusts the seat. The only way to know if you will fit is to go sit in one and play with the seat yourself.

BTW, I am 6'3" 215lbs, 14 shoe and I feel like I have alot of space.
