How tall are some of you guys? Anyone 6' have any problem getting in and out of the GT? I am concerned with the door wacking me in the head. I am 6 foot on the dot. Will I fit?

No problem what so ever. Some are 6' 5". Also depends on your leg/torso ratio. Are you thinking of buying or riding?

Very easily! 6 foot is NO problem.

I'm 6'3...no problem. It is a little awkward getting in and out until you get used to the doors but it is like that for everyone. The A pillars are a little strange at first. I do duck when I close the door though. :lol

Honestly a very comfortable cabin. Plenty of space. :cheers

I'm 6' 2" and have no headroom problems. I did make the mistake of opening my door while moving one time. When I closed it, the wind had sucked my hair up and the door closed on it. Pulled a big chunk out.:eek

And trust me, I can't afford to lose any.:lol

It also depends on the slope of the seatback.

At 6'2" with a long torso I had to have the seat lowered and still duck closing the door. You will love the car go for it and drive the hell out of it.
Good luck FLY GT40

It'll be tough with a helmet on - but I'm 6' and love it more every time I get in. Just tilt your head to the slide and shut the door.

It depends on your hair! Shorter guys with tall hair have had problems & been forced to buy a Z06.

I'm 6'3" (when fully erect) and have no problems - but (and as posted above) wearing a crash helmet means you're wedged against the roof. This is probably not good.... :ack

I'm bald, but 6'4" and have no problems fitting. With a helmet on...that's another story. Had the seat cushion lowered on my white car so I can wear a helmet/HANS without getting pinched against the roof.

The door is an equal opportunity cranium conker - at least as far as the get in / get out process is concerned. 'Makes no diff WHAT a person's height (or lack thereof) may be.

Pbly the only person who MIGHT never be Gurney'd would be a dwarf. MAYBE.

I'm 6' large torso. Fit like crap in the car. So I took the top off, and lowered the seat. Still can't drive it with the top on and a helmet though. :frown
