Kind of a tight fit once you are much over six foot.

@shills1985 Exactly. I'm 6'4" and drove a GT6+ for five years; lead with the right leg. The GT6 is actually plenty roomy inside, considering I could grab the top of the passenger door with my right hand and touch the ground outside the driver door with my left. I weighed 170 when I had the car, and 230 now, so maybe it wouldn't seem so roomy?

Im 6"5 and have a GT6, he's approached that all wrong! lead with the right leg, get it the other side of the steering wheel then you sldie right in. Lay the back supprt to about 45 degrees to create masses of headroom!!

The head room is the only real problem. I'm 6' and when I had the seat all the way back in my Spitfire I couldn't reach the pedals

@Silverstreak350Z

6'5" and 160?

Are you a stick?

[DJTheMuko]

lol then i wont fit in there at all im 191cm and my dream is shot to peaces :(

[Silverstreak350Z]

Thanks for posting this video. I'm about 6'5" as well and the GT6 is one of my dream cars. Now I know I can sort of fit in it. I only weigh 160 lbs and I figure I can find a smaller steering wheel and maybe mount the seat farther back or something. Where there's a will there's a way, that's what I always say.
