Default Question about my mustang

I am think of doing this manual swap and before you think this is another how do u do it thing its not. I was wandering i would beable to drive it comfortbaly. I am about 6'2 and 250 with size 14 shoe. Will the pedals be to close together for me to drive comfortably? If any one is about the same size and has a 1995 let me know. Thanks

I dunno about the pedal placement, but I'm 6'5" but only 190 w/ size 13 and they are a little close on my 86. When I waert my steel toes it gets tight. No brake stands then, but the close placement does make it easier to get the left foot to the brake real quick for the stand.

Ok thanks. Yea i have always loved mustangs and the first time i sat in my friends 02 i was like there is no way this is gonna work. But i sat in the 95 i have now and i fit decent. My seats all the way back and my knees dont hitt the stearing wheel or dash. It wont be the best if i crash but lets hope i dont. I think there is away to move my seat back even farther but i am not sure. The main part i am woried about is my foot size hiting the brake when i am tryin to hit the gas.

Yeah im 6'1 160 lbs and shoe size 12 and its getings tight sometimes...[:@] the only thing I like about being tall is that my arms are mad long and I cant reach the shifter comfortably unlike most ppl. my gf cant even reach 3rd gear when she sits in it

they make seat extenders for the sn95 cars u should be able to correct the seat placement if its too close for comfort im about 6ft and 300lbs i fit in my fox fine i know the dash is shaped a little different and all but i would think u would be fine!
