Im 6 foot and with shoes add another inch and its never bothered me, but then again I;ve never understood why people want to be in a recliner when they drive, but you are 6-4'' so you gotta be cramped, Just be careful cuz you dont wanna sacrifice safety for a little more leg room

I am 6-1 and I plan on doing the free mod shown on mustangworld. You just have to take your seat off and drill 2 new holes 2" farther back. I will be doing that when the car comes out of storage.

I don't know how people have so many problems.

I'm 6'4" tall and I don't even have my seat adjusted all of the way back and I'm completely comfortable.

im 6'1 and moving the seat on the tracks was the first mod i did to the car. I keep meaning to do the pass seat too because i always feel bad when i have a tall friend in the car.

i'm 6-7 and i did the free mod mentioned above. It's tight , but obviously doable. I also don't daily drive my car. I might have to try those extenders tho.

I'm 6'2" and just have the seat all the way back, but I've been driving SN95s since I was 16 (except for about a 9 month period), so I might just be used to it.

I do have a buddy who is 6'4-5" and he did the extenders and loved it.

I'm 6'3" and it's pretty damn tight. My leg is wedged between the door and wheel when I shift.

I feel like that dude at the end of fast and the furious who turns around to pick the girl up who wrecks. That tall bastard is almost kneeing himself in the chest as he shifts lol.

The worst is on long drives (cruisin for 2-3 hrs straight). I find I get cramped up and there is no room down there to really switch position a bit.

+1 i hate that so damned much.

I did the free mod and it helped, but i still need like 2 more inches. I will probably get a set of seats eventually that i hope will give me enough room.

LMAO, I have this exact same problem. Also every time I turn I flip my turn signal lever back to off haha. I'm 6'4" also and besides that I don't have much of a problem. At first I felt cramped, but now I'm used to it and I like that tight feeling, it allows me to shift and pedal better.

haha I do the same shit, I basically gave up using my left turn signal cause I always turn it off, I think it may be possible to adjust the clutch pedal down so our knees dont hit the wheel.

6'1" here and I hate being cramped up. I need to move the seat back another 2" at least. I am also a big dude too (255lbs), so I think that makes a difference too. If I was a skinny guy it might be more comfortable, as it is, my knee is jambed up against the door and sometimes hits the blinker stalk.
