        I'm probably skewed in the opposite direction as my first car had so little legroom there wasn't even space for a dead pedal. ;D

                  5'4" ~160 lbs - sport seats fit great.
                  Alpina dead pedal is perfect for leverage.
                  The car fits like a glove.

                    R3V is full of skinny nerds.
                    I was 6'2" and 155 until I got a government job. Now I'm 6'1" and 175 lbs.

                      The extra weight is pulling you closer to Earth, eh? :D

                        6'3". Last e30 I had to mount my fixed backs strait to the floor so I could fit my helmet with out bending my neck. I dont know how you 6'5"-6'6" guys do it. The 2002s are even worse with head room.

                          5'11 And the seat is all the way back and my legs feel cramped

                          I also drive my suburban with the seat all the way back

                          I must have long legs because I seem to have the seat just as far back as people 4" taller

                            As tall as I am (6'1") I drive relatively up-right and close up to the wheel. I can't have my legs extended so much that I lose the bend in the knee - it just feels awkward.
                            I seat myself nearly in the "track position" and it's most comfortable for me.

                              Only problem I've had fitting in a car was that the seat was too far back.
