Is there a difference between the head room in the "T" and the fixed roof version? I love the car....but I have sat in the "T" version several times and there is just no way its comfortable for me. The bolstered peice for the top is like mm from my head on the left side (drivers seat). I have been looking for an older one to sit in/test drive....but I haven't been able to yet.
I'm pretty sure that there is no difference, but I don't know for sure. There is definitely a difference though if you have the top off. :wink:doctor_evil said:
I’m 5 11 and ¾
I have to scrunch down a bit when I’m wearing a helmet so I feel like I’m getting near the limit for stock seats with a helmet.

I don't have any emprical evidence but I disagree.redshift said:
Having sat in a number of 1994 and earlier cars... there's quite a bit of difference in headroom for where I sit in the car vs. my T model.
I'm 6' exactly and have to drive slightly hunched with the top on. When I take my top off, my head stick's out:biggrin: and my friends make fun of me:redface: :biggrin:
Yeah, no evidence here either. I have only sat in one T-model (top on) and it was in the passenger side so I can't really accurately judge the difference. I was just going by my "sense." :smile: :wink:Da Hapa said:
I see our height distribution matches the NSX weight distribution. Coincidence or eerie, bizarre correlation of seemingly unrelated properties of our universe?
Strange... I'm not that tall, i'm a bit more than 5'10" and my head is close enough to the roof to be uncomfortable. It messes up my hair sometimes, and if I don't slouch it'll bump.
I do have short legs for my height though... maybe my torso is longer than normal.

Hmmm... That's quite a belly you've got...
At first I thought you were making reference to your enormous naughty bits...
I don't know how you guys over 6 feet can sit very comfortably in your NSX. You probably have more joints than I do. I am 6'2" with barely a finger width between my head and the roof.
6'3" and I wouldn't recommend anyone taller....with that said though, I am perfectly comfortable.
I hear you there ! I started this thread thinking about people that are tall driving the X. I am 6 foot even i am comfortable don't get me wrong. But IMO if was any taller, I don't think i could be-able to get the seat adjusted to the most optimum driving position.( I am talking about a desired position for track driving ) It's just way the seat is moved back to accommodate longer legs, it's pulling you hands farther away from the wheel. ( the steering wheel only comes out so far. I know taller people can be comfortable driving the X. IMO if you are 6'2 plus and want to race it, and get the most feel out of the car you need to change some things.( seat , steering wheel )fannsx said:

WHAT !!
so are you saying those 2 inches with my shoes on, dont count ?!! No more 6' 2 " for me then , i guess i am really 5' 11 3/4" :biggrin:
HMMM.....no wonder 41% (which seemd high to me ) of those who voted claim to be 6' 1" or over...
OK Then !!! The shoe rule applies to everyone. For those who say they are 6' 0" , 6' 1", or 6' 2", please take off your shoes, and revote....so we can have more of an accurate poll
and thus of what the normal standards of the average height is !

In the morning after I first get up, I'm 6' 2".
In the evening, once my joints compress, I'm down to 6' 1.25".
Seriously.
I need to sit fairly far back to have comfortable leg room (but the seat could still slide back quite a ways), and I recline the back portion a bit to get head room. After all that, it's a stretch to reach the steering wheel, so I'm looking into replacing it or moving the wheel closer to me, if I can figure out a way to do it with the factory wheel.

hehe... I've got you all beat!
I'm 6'7", 220 lbs.
I've driven NSX's before and was fine.
I also owned an S2000, which was really tight. I didn't like that the car wasn't equipped with a tilt steering wheel so I dropped in a smaller one, MOMO Millenium. The stock one was sitting on my legs and I wasn't comfortable when pressing the clutch. MOMO gave me some room.
I think that's gonna be something I will do on the NSX too, the stock wheel is a little too big for my taste.

Well, I was 6'4" 245 pounds before I got sick. Now I am 5' 8" 155 pounds. I was pretty ill...:biggrin:
I'm only 5'9", but my friend's 68 year old dad is 6'4" and he LOVES sports cars. He insisted on getting into the drivers seat and seeing how the fit was in the car, but no matter how we tweaked the seat settings, we could not create enough head room for him. His neck was craned sideways the whole time. He mentioned that he's never been able to fit in Corvettes, or older Porsches for the same reason, but he has no problems fitting in his 300ZX.
He mentioned to me that he has an unusually long torso, which has limited the sports cars he could consider over the years and after reading this thread and seeing people 2-3 inches taller than him find a way to fit, I believe him now.:tongue: But seriously, after seeing him suffer in there, I thought noone over 6'2" had a chance to fit.:biggrin: I guess his upper body really is disproportionatly longer than his legs.

I don't get it... Most of you that are over 6'3" or so say that you have little head room in the eneseX. As tall as I am, I had no problem fitting in an eneseX, a Vette, 911's or, for that matter, my dad's Testarossa.
But when it comes to the Classic Minis...
