Default Headroom!

I fit in the car ok, I just need another inch or so headroom to be comfortable. Is there anyway to acomplish this without changing seats? (09 Z06) Thanks!

If you have the painted roof and you go to the transparent roof, you will have a little more head room. The seat track/mounting should not be changed.

Maybe just recline the seat back a little more.

How tall are you? I'm 6'4" and I didn't fit in the coupe. Instead I got a convertible.

What I do to fit is this... lower the seat all the way down in the back, then raise up the front, then recline the seatback (mine is all the way back so it touches the rear carpet.)
Then, if you're still tight on top, move the seat forward until your knees are close to, but not touching the dash area.
Re-recline the seatback if neccesary or raise the front of the seat bottom a bit more. Doing this angles your whole body back toward the rear. The only thing is that darn bar where the car body starts again after the thinner top ends (right where your head will probably be) It's right in the wrong spot!

I feel your pain, I fit, but not by much, and if I didn't like the car a lot, I couldn't really say that I fit at all!

Good luck, and let us know how you make out.
