I seriously don't know how tall people drive cars at all! I'm only 5'8" but I find that I drive everything with the seat almost all the way back, especially with a clutch. I can't stand getting my knees up into the steering wheel, I like my legs to be almost straight out on the gas and the clutch.

I wonder what basketball players do. I remember hearing a story about a famous BB player that had the front seat removed from his car and he drove sitting in the back seat. Anyone have info on this?

At 6"2' no problems with the clutch but do have my right knee hit the bottom trim. I'm not sure why they put it so low, because there doesn't seem to be anything behind it.

take the car some where and have them relocate the whole seat bracket back a few inches. that should give u enough room.

6'3", have steering all the way down and the seat about 2 inches from all the way back, then tilt the back down and the front up to support the thighs. I got used to the S2k so I feel like I'm in a luxury cruiser now, with a ton more torque. However, i can manage to heel toe shift, steer with the same leg that is clutching, shift with the right hand, talk on my cell phone and smoke a cigarette all at the same time... What is this world coming too?
