6'6" in a Cerb/Chim?

[m4tt]

Pretty much as the title suggests. Being of rather freakish proportions, just wondered how likely it is I'll fit in a Cerb or Chim? Just a pipe dream at the moment, but don't want to get too far down the pipe only to be bitterly disappointed.

Thanks in advance.

Do-able, I think.

PHer "BIGRAH" got in mine. He's about 6ft 9!

Chimaera easy (with the roof off)

Seriously, with the right angle on the seat you'd be ok (but not as a passenger)

Why not go to your friendly dealer & sit in one?

My mate drove my cerb and he is 5ft 3in and had to put the seat forward to push the clutch all of the way in. As someone else has said go to a dealer to see if you fit.

6'6" is ok for a Cerb not so good in a Chim I have both.

[Andyb4.5]

Are you long in the body or long in the leg?!

I know 2 guys who are 6'6 one can't fit in the Cerb as he's tall in the upper body, the other one is long in the leg and fits in easily...

Hope that helps

I shouldn't think it'll be a problem, I'm 6'4" and play Rugby so not small, I struggle a bit with shoulder room (in fact there is non) but I don't even have the drivers seat in its furthest back position.

Honestly.. you got the height and now you want a Tiv too! Leave them to us shorty's give us some respect

I'm 6'3" Chimaera is fine on leg room, but as someone else said - passenger side is not so comfortable because of the shortened footwell.

Cerbera - no problem with leg room - little tight on headroom with a helmet on!

My height is in my legs, so if you have long legs, both should be okay.

Your profle says you want a Porsche? You need to change it to a TVR!

[hugepiece]

Well the guy I bought my old Cerb from was 6'9.....I kid you not.....he seemed to fit in ok!

[RUSSELLM]

I thought PW was 6'6, the original sales literature mentions something along the lines of him being able to drive it.

Don't get put off by the first one you test drive either, it's more than likely, that the current/previous owner has wound the pedals out for their diddy legs

[m4tt]

Thanks for the help, I'm fairly evenly proportioned, at a 36" inside leg.

Amazon: My head (and potentially wallet) wants a Porsche, but my heart wants a TVR. Just really doing some research at the moment. I tend to read up on things a lot, then try things, then choose. At the moment I'm in the reading up stage. Don't want to waste dealers time, as I won't be buying for a little while.

Sack the head, promote the heart, get a Cerbera, jobs done. Happy days.

Actually I'd be surprised if there's as much room in a Porsche - I'm 6'3", test drove a Cayman S and found it was a real squeeze. I couldn't even have had the sports seats as an option as they are a couple of inches thicker than the standards which wouldn't go far enough back as they were. Also there wasn't enough adjustment on the steering wheel to make it comfortable.

The only problems I have with the TVR are (i) that the [tuscan style] seat backs aren't high enough to provide proper support, (having said that, I tend to hit my head on the rear rollbar before the headrest anyway) though I could take the cushion out to help a bit I suppose and (ii) the angle of the seat means that the seatbelt rubs on it and gradually feeds out so I have to keep feeding the belt back in to keep it taught, though I guess removing the cushion could help here too as I wouldn't need to have the seat at the same angle.

Didn't some giant shorten/lower or remove the seat runners?

No one has ever bought a Cerbera based on what the head says - 100% heart, thats why us and the cars are so special

At around 6'4, The only problem I have is when I want to duck my head out of the window. Otherwise you'll be fine. Word of caution, as you are interested in Porsche, you may use girly hair products and these will make a mess of the Cerb's headlining

[m4tt]

No girly products on the hair, all concentrated in the beard growth area, to stop it looking like I have beard herpes! (razor rash)
