Wondering if the base seats would give you more head room when the seat is down as compared to GT2 seat?Looks like the GT2 seats is thicker(more height ) than the base seats.Comments

Seats are all the same in that regard... looked at them closely.

Head room was fine (with plenty to go) for me in the targa C8. I'm 6'0" with 34" inseam. I'm not a fatass, as some of these guys are. I'm a muscular 190 lbs. No problem at all.

Was the seat all the way down? How was visibility? I'm about 5'11" with a 33" inseam

The driver's sear electronics were disabled. Probably just unplugged, because I read that the passenger seat was hot (working). You'll fit fine!. Won't be a problem for you.
