Am I just too tall??

notch22 · Oct 9, 2006

Hey guys, quick question. I drove an 02 GT yesterday and it seemed like I was too tall for the car. I am 6'4". How tall are you guys? I dont really know too much about the workings of these style cars.....is there any difference in travel between the electric and manual seat rails? I really want this car, but I dont want to deal with cramming myself in it....

I'm 5' ft and 11 1/2" inches, but I got a wide size 12 foot.

I'm 6ft. and have my seat set about 95% of the way back. I think they make some rail extenders that will let the seat go back even further for you taller guys. Not sure where to find them though.

With the seat slid all the way back you were cramped?

I'm 6 ft and have no problems ...

I also drove an 07 today during lunch and it seemed to have a lot more room. Dunno bout laying down that kinda cash though.

I'm 6'3" and I fit fine...I actually don't have the seat all the way back. I felt cramped as well the first time I drove this model Stang, but drive it a few more times, and you'll find it fits like a glove. However, its not feel as open as your Fox body.

Well I have a crew cab truck, maybe I am just spoiled for room.... Maybe there is a possibility that the seat got stuck and couldnt go all the way back?

I am 6' and I don't like the seating position in my stang I think the seats on the GT sucks azz I am looking in to aftermarkets that sits lower than stock ones,I steal don't have solid information on what seat gonna work weal for me.

Since you say that, something is wrong here. That seat was definitely all the way back.....heck I dont think there is any way that I could drive it only 95% of the way back.

yeah...I am not that tall (5' 10") but I felt cramped in my 02 Gt because of how high up the seat sits. I wish there was a kit to just lower the stock seats for now. But just like you I came from a f250 xtra cab and a 90 lx 5.0 so it feels weird at first but as stated...you will get use to it

in my friends 04 GT my other friend who is 6' 7" 350 drove it was a little crampt but fit ok. I felt bad for his LT's though. But yeah that guy drives an Excursion because hes so big.

It all depends on how I style my hair!!! Too tall and it hits the roof!!! I like the "fits like a glove" feeling. I used to drive an Exploder and this is much more cozy.

F.Y.I I'm 6'1" and the seat is about 95% back!

do you have the seat all the way down?

amolai · Oct 9, 2006

on my 04 GT i have what i believe is 8 or 10 way power seat adjustments..im 6' 2" and its not cramped at all, mess with all the power adjustments and it should work out pretty well.

ShapeShifter · Oct 9, 2006

6'1 here and my seat is all the way back and im pretty much laying down on it and fit great...

Susky · Oct 9, 2006

6'4" here. Electric seats. I put the seat all the way back, and slightly reclined. It's not the most roomy thing, but it's comfortable.

COramprat · Oct 9, 2006

I find if I recline the seat some it extends legroom. I'm 6' and have to put the seat all the way back if I have the back sitting nearly straight. Reclined i can move it up a hair.

bads · Oct 9, 2006

I'm 6'3" and was cramped till i installed the kenny brown seat rail extendor things. I think it depends on how much of the body is actually leg, and how much is body

gargol139 · Oct 9, 2006

Im 6'3, 230, and my seat is all the way back, allthe way reclined, could definately use more room.

mustangcam · Oct 9, 2006

im six three and i fit fine. r my cobra seats any different that helps that. i cant even go all the way back cuz i can barely get the clutch in enough to drive.
