5FT 3, 160lbs . Smaller faster. Need the seat way forward to get the clutch in far enough to start the car. But I fell 6'6 when driving.

I'm able to squeeze my towering mass of 5'8'' in the FRC with no problems.
Cheers,

I am 6'2 250 lbs and I have no problem even when I have my top down. When I have sat in other sport cars I feel like a sardine.

I'm 6'2", 235 or so, depending on eating habits. C5 coupe is very comfy for me; we took it on a 2000 mile trip in July and it was great. My only concern is shoe size...I wear a 14....so I need to wear a narrow shoe to allow my feet to slip behind the pedals when not engaged in accelerating, shifting, braking, etc., or just to stretch the legs on a trip. I found a nice, soft, leather slipper from LL Bean that is perfect.
