Ha there,

I'm only 6'1" but I found a trick in an old mustang magazine that takes the seat pedestal, cuts it out, cuts off the bottom 2" and welds it back in place. It did wonders for not hitting the roof any more. [sm=outcold.gif]

I'm 6'4". I fit in my Vert no problem. My Fastback is a little more tricky. If I adjust the seat back so it angles back as much as possible, I'm fine. I'm considering the modification to the seat rails that would allow it to slide back further. Not sure what I want to do as of yet.

Im 6'2', I never really looked, but I would say I have plenty of room. Ive seen tall guys driving a much smaller car, like my friend thats the same height driving a Miata. I fit in it just fine. I would say find a friend with a mustang, and sit in it, only way to find out I suppose.
