At a PCA meeting I met a rather tall fellow who took sitting low to an extreme in his track prepared cabriolet. The car had a racing shell that was installed VERY low in the car. I didn't sit in it, however he said that if you're shorter than 6' 2", you'll have trouble seeing over the steering wheel. The point is, if he could get it THAT low, than you, even without a racing shell, you should be able to enjoy plenty of room with a little modification.
I hope your right Keith. I measure out at 6'7" so naturally I expected to have to do some modifications. Just wanted to hear what some other taller guys have done to get a better fit. The car, when I find it, will see track time (DE's mainly) so I don't mind switching to a *larger* racing shell. My brother has a one in his BMW 2002 track car that would fit nicely.

Markus, I know your struggle, I'm looking for the same non-sunroof SC. I know there was a 'sunroof delete' option on the SC's....was this available on the Carrera's as well. I didn't know that.

Thanks for the info!

Now....about that shifter residing under my right knee....

The struggle continues....
