Carlos,

I am 6'-4" and 200 # myself. I have legs like a giraffe also! The Alpine is one of the few sports cars I can sit comfortably in without suckin on my kneecaps. I own a 66 Series V. I adjusted the brake and clutch pedal to be the farthest away from the seat as possible. The brake and clutch linkage both have two holes. The seats have fore/aft adjustment, rake adjustment, and limited height adjustment. The height is adjustable by a small fold down bar linkage under the seat. High and low setting only. High setting makes me look like dino from the Flinstones with my head stickin through the canopy!

I tried out a Miata for size about a year ago.....and I thought the salesman was going to have to call for the "jaws of life" to get me out. When I was folded up in the Miata I couldn't even move the stick shift. The salesman says to me " We can order it in an automatic for you!....there may be more clearance" No thank you!

Regards,

Bob Flak
