Can a 6'4" guy fit in a SPF.
I had an out of state guy ask me today if I thought a 6'4" 225 guy would fit behind the wheel of a SPF. I have the dropped foot pans in my car but still not sure. I know some guys have placed the front of the seat up a bit to provide a tilt to the seat and that might be benificial.
Does anyone know a SPF owner of this height. Ray |
How about "5 foot,18 inches".
He fit and drove the wheels off of his SPF. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...DSCN001331.jpg |
I know Lowell has a SPF and is 6'-4" or more. Try to contact him.

I am 6' 4.5" inches and 235 lbs, the fit and legroom is fine, I have a later model 2500+ very comfortable, I get somewhat cramped on longer rides, but no big deal,I have no complaints, tell your friend it is not a issue.

Poboy,
Sending you a pm with Lowell's e-mail address. |
I always knew santa was a ford guy !!!!
|
6'5" 235. I fit fine in my car. It does have the dropped foot pans though.
|
6'-4" Wide?
|
I am 6'6", 245 and could not close the door on the 90" SPF. I had to go with a 96" and fit fine. It depends on your build. Go try one on for size.
|
SPF makes a 96" ???
PoBoy, to fit 6'4" take the seat adjuster out, fasten the seat to the floor as far back as it will go. Also tilt it backwards if extra arm length is needed. My legs are pretty much straight out when driving, arm to the top of the wheel is also almost straight and im looking thru the windshield area between the top of the steering wheel and top window frame. If it gets to windy, I can still slide down in the seat and not hit my knees on the bottom of the dash. |

I'm 6'2" but I'm a chubby rascal as well so this may not apply; I tryed on an SPF with the seat bolted to the floor and so far back that the back was almost @ a 90 degree angle from the base and I barely fit. It would have been very uncomfortable to try and drive for any amount of time. Room is the primary reason that I went with a BDR.

I'm 6'3", tall from my hinder to the top of my head. My inseam on slacks is 34". My seat is bolted to the floor and tilted back. My car had been lowered from the original Superformance ride-height, which is quite high compared to original cars. The suspension is fully adjustable. I have removed some padding from seat bottom, raised the front end of the car an inch (still lower than stock Superformnce) and I am now looking thru the windshield comfortably. I am thinking of trying the seat without any tilt and see if that gets me lower in the car. I have driven my car without a seat and it was very comfortable. I have also thought I might try to find a smaller similar seat. Has anyone put a different seat in an SPF for lower body position?? I intend to go long distances in the car and want as low a seating position as comfortably possible. Thanks, Paul
