Any TALL drivers?
Got a guy interested in buying my SVX that's 6'5" and he's wondering if he'll fit comfortably in it- anyone have any relevant experience here?

No Problem
I'm six three and everything moves enough to a point where I can sit extremely comfortable. Just don't pull all the way up underneath traffic signals or you'll have a hard time seeing them.

I am 6' and lately I am finding it tight. (after 6 years with no problem) took the seat out a week ago to make sure a dime wasn't stuck in the track or something. It might be the shoes.

There may be tall folks out there, but it's only the shorter folks i see at the meets! 5'7¼" and i recline my seat ALL the way, cause i have super-short legs, and don't like eating the steering wheel.
