Any Tall Vert Drivers?
As in Tall i mean around 6'5". Friend of mine is going to look at a 99 Vert but he's unsure if he'll be able to fit. Vert drivers.. How tall are you and how much headroom do you have?

I'm just shy of 6'6", and my head brushed the liner on 01+ verts (annoying sensation). Your friend may be in luck with the 99, as the tops didn't have as many layers (changed in '01), so it should be thinner and hopefully consequently has more headroom. As for comparing heights, I've found that everyone's body configuration (length of torso vs. legs, etc.) is so different that you just have to try it for yourself to see, and not necessarily rely on someone else's experience. Hope it works out for him !!

It's going to depend on if most of his height is in his legs or in his torso. I'm 6'5" and long in the torso. When I get in a vert, my head does rub against the liner.
As such, I have a coupe for my daily driver. I would like to get a vert but I would only use it when I could drive with the top down.
