You about 6'4"? 6'5"? I'm a shade under 6'4", and fit in the GTS really good, even with a helmet on, I just brush the headliner. But I lowered my seat 2", so that helped.

So tall guys can't fit in the Gen3 coupe? You sure? Wonder what the headroom is? The stock GTS has I think 35.2" from the seat bottom to the roof. Same as the Ford GT, btw.

Close Vic but 6'6"...Just from the looks of the interior I dont think Ill fit..It reminded me of my friends RX7 in terms of snugness....I drove that car with my knees lol couldnt use my hands...I know the GTS will barely fit me...I sat in one but it was uncomfortable and not much room to move about especially when I closed the door. But from what Ive read on here the 2" lowering kit does wonders....That will be the first mod I do when Im able to get a GTS...

The DC ***** wouldnt even wind down the window for me to get a glare free pic....But this is what I saw that makes me think I cant fit..

A car dealer friend of mine told me yesterday, that he read in a new car magazine that they were raising the horse power to 550 on the coupe. He couldn't tell me the name of the mag, but it had two old mustang on the cover. Is it a misprint?

I've got a friend who's 6'-6", 250, who drives a GTS with a seat lowering kit. He's snug, but he's got a permanent smile on his face. I guess it all boils down to how long your legs are vs. your upper body, but don't give up!!

Good to know..Hes pretty much my size except Im 10 lbs fatter. Gotta start training harder. He probably has the same problem Ive always had...Looking goofy as hell contorting to get in/out of a car. Hopefully the 2" lowering kit drastically improves the appearance of the ingress/egress motions but I doubt it lol...

When I sit in mine, I just kinda flop my ass down into the seat, and the rest of me "follows the leader". :)

When I get out, I lean on the side sill, and spring my self out.

Even though I've got long legs, they don't rub the headlight switch at all.
