hi guys and gals im 6ft5 would i have leg and headroom in a supra either in the hardtop or aero model(yes i know in the aero i would have loads of headroom with roof off:d so no funny answers with that one lol),i currently drive a scoobie my 4th one and fancy a change as i need to get the mrs a runabout as well so not worried about lack of room in back seats for the kids,are there any other tall supra drivers out there,thanks for any help

 

cheers

I am nearly 6'4 and fit. I know of taller people with supras. Even Hulk Hogan had 2 supras so the answer is yes.

 

Roof of supra is dome shaped so headroom is no issue

 

Hi

Thats great forget about hogan yes remember him being in one with nick his son driving it,its a toss up between this and a skyline but prefer the look of the supra.

 

cheers m8

Just over 6'4 here and i fit :) Have to have the seats right back and slightly inclined :) I don't fit in a 350Z too well though :(

 

hi

i tried a 350z and i could never drive one of them unless i chopped a couple of feet off,no room at all but a cracking motor

cheers

I tried a 350z convertible and looked like a tank driver, head stuck out the top!

 

If you go with a Supra, swapping to an aftermarket seat can really help on headroom. I am running Recaro Speed seats on Bride MO subframes (take a look in my garage). I am a lot lower in the car as a result and have loads of headroom (although my car is not an aerotop).

Good point, my Recaro's sit a lot lower than the standard seats. My girlfriend is only short and has trouble seeing over the dash lol..

 

I wonder also if there's less headroom in the aerotop because of the thickness of the panels?

 

i wondered about that with the aero also prob end up banging the back of my head everytime i hit a pothole lol

 

cheers
