Well, I have been looking for a car for nearly 10 years, and I finally am about to realize my dream -

I bought and had built a Pacific Roadster. Looking forward to playing with it. I am 6'2" and of all the manufacturers out there, I only found a few where I sat in them and actually was looking THROUGH the windsheld, most I was looking into the frame and some I even was looking over the windshield.

Bottom line - RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH come to a club event, check out different manufacturers and see which one fits you the best...

Bad,

I'm 6'4" and it isn't the legroom that gets me...it is the fact that I am looking right at the top framework of the windshield. You can lower the pan on many or lengthen the box to move the pedals away from you. I have been looking at removing the seat tracks and some padding...that sinks me down such that I fit in most that I've tried...but it is a bit of a gumby routine getting in and out. The Superformance and Shell Valley with the deeper pan should both fit you...but Superformance seemed like you had to be more limber to get out the door...

I'd be interested in hearing what you come up with...

I remember trying a Superformance back when I was initially researching & though it had the legroom I do see to remember it being a bit tighter to get in & out of than my ERA. I also tried to get into a NAF FIA car that wass in the same lot & that was a no go. I could get in but my knees were off to one side & up against the dash. For all I know NAF may have changed this by now....
