Default New guy, quick question

Sup guys, I have been bitten by the mustang bug and want one really bad. I drove an 06 GT today and my wife thinks Im to big for it. Im 6'2 and yes my knee was hitting the dash, I didnt feel just jam packed, but I mean its a sports car they are cramped a little. What do you guys think. How tall are you guys and do you wish you didnt get the car because of the space....or lack there of

Don't let that stop you! My b/f is 6' 4" and he loves driving it...he's comfortable with no complaints! If you lower the seat all the way down and put it back just a bit and lift the wheel, you'll be fine

I'm also 6'4" 220lbs. I drove from Sebring, Fla. to Detroit, Mi. in Apr. and was suprized how comfortable it was. Like others said, just keep adjusting the seat back and tilted till you find your comfort zone. I did install a dead pedal, and it makes it more comfy on longer rides. Good luck shopping!
