Anyone here over 6'4" up to 6'6"? is it too cramped for headroom in the drivers seat?

the funny thing is that i don't have a racing helmet so i brought a CCM helmet with me
just in case they would let me use that .. couple guys were laughing at me when they saw the hockey helmet ... lol.
oh well i just had to share a helmet .
honestly i hate these racing helmets wraping around the face and ears they suffocate me ,i 'm used to the lightest and smallest helmet i can get.

i don't think he'd be comfortable....i'm only 6'2" and even without a helmet
there are only a few positions where i don't **** my head to teh side a little bit (to get part of my head into teh raised sunroof area) and feel comfortable...though if he has long arms and legs rathar than a long torso he might be alright.

Removing an inch of padding from the seat buys some headroom...
...can I fit sufficient to drive and enjoy the car? Yes. Do I fit well enough to not complain about it? No. I'm 6'5", 230 lbs. How heavy is your 6'6" friend. Don't forget that in addition to people's varying proportions between torso and leg length, that the larger your butt dyno is the higher your torso sits off of the seat. When I track my car, I have to do it with the roof open and my helmet sticking up into the sunroof opening. If your friend has truly orangutan arms (36" sleeve here), he might be able to recline a long way and still have proper driving position, or just disregard proper driving position and recline anyway.

thats not gangsta style its F1 style. look at the seat position they drive in, its almosthorizontal
honestly i have no idea how they can drive cars that fast while laying back. id think that braking would cause some serious pinchage *shrug* i guess with a few hundred million dollars theyve figured out how to avoid that
