I am 6'6 and cram myself into my Ford GT. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to modify the seat to create more room. Or is there an after market seat that is available?
You can also add inches with the Gurney Bubble adaptation to the door.
Knights mod is supposedly indistinguishable from stock just by looking at the cushion, so there's really no reason to ever want/have to reverse it. The bubble on the other hand....
Gurney Bubble only needed if seat mod is not enough.

There is a door on eBay with a Gurney Bubble about 9K

Strange - I'm 6'2" and fit perfectly in there, seats (back) back all the way...it's my Viper that I can't really fit into - no height at all...but the GT is no problem for me. Guessing if you lower that seat by 1.5" - you'll have plenty of headroom. Forget your big guy @ 6'8"...that's never gonna happen unless you remove the seat altogether!I'm 6'3" and thanks to my thinning hair line, still just barely fit in the car. After the first 5 minutes I forget about the roof basically brushing the top of my head. My 6'8" son however, although he is trying to convince me that he "fits", looks like a sardine in a can! Not sure if I will modify the seats given the son is 16 and for the sake of public safety probably shouldn't be tooling around in a GT. Also, I looked at Knights Automotive and pictures of the process and it appears this is a semi-permanent change. You would have to custom rebuild the seats to get back to stock specs.
I wonder if that is the one that Saleen broke out at Rally II as a demonstration example? It's from Troy, MI - and I believe that Bryan Chambers and Todd Helms are still in that area. Nice door, as it is complete with all the additional trim items. A good buy for any red car.
