6'5" with a highly developed waistline. Better headroom than most sportscars, although having a long torso as opposed to long legs I can't fit in the car wearing a crash helmet.

Depends on your proportions mate.

I am nearly 6'5 and don't have a problem.

Long legs might get in the way of the wheel and long torso's mean that you'll never where a helmet so track days are a no-no unless you change the seat.

Just jump in one and see..

6ft7in here and headroom is fine without sunroof. Legroom or rather knee room is tight which is why I had a Techart 340mm steering wheel fitted. Agree about the sport seats - stick to standard ones unless you're built like a stick insect
