you're right on the edge. i'm 6'2 and the car is quite comfortable, but if i have dress shoes with a fairly thick heel, i find my legs closer to the wheel than i'd like. the other issue you'll have is that the windshield frame will be relatively low compared to your eyes, so at lights you may hafta sorta peer around it to see the stoplight.

you're on the border.. i know at 6'3", you're getting awfully close with the roof up. has anyone had an experience with aftermarket seats with seat rails? I know with the mugen seat and rails, you sit considerably lower (well, on an EK you do).
a good friend of mine is 6'5" about 240. his head creeps above the roof line. never tried with the top up... he probably wouldn't be too happy with that.
