Reply to "550 Spyder for tall guys?"

Stefan,
Moving the firewall back looks pretty easy. Most of these cars already come with a cove built into the firewall so the seat can lean further back. You would have a problem moving it much more because even though the fireall itself is back, the top of the body ahead of the engine cover is fixed without MAJOR re-work. Drop the seat down thru the floor (re-work the floor) and put the pedals as far forward as possible perhaps even re-working that area to accomodate your leg length.

Unfortunately, I think you will still have some issues. My husband is 6'2 and the top of the windshield is directly in his line of site. His head is above the glass and bears solid evidence of bug strikes after a drive...

The solution in our house was to give me - the short one - the car. I'm quite happy with that solution.
