Hey I am looking into getting a 2nd gen RX7 but have been unable to find one as of yet. I was wondering how would a guy being 6'1" fit into one of these 2nd gens i have heard they are small but would i be really cramped in there. Not that it would matter if i could find one but what do you guys think.

I'm real happy 2 hear that u r interested in rx7. As of height, your height would be just fine and headroom is just enough coz' i have a fren who has the same height using non-reclinable bucket seats as well.

hey i know, but the dealer said if I get someone to buy it I get 50 bucks. so if it sells cool, if it doesnt whatever. no skin off my back. :D but actually that is really low for an n/a engine, those things last till 300k

I spent lot of time searching for it you know...can't just give to you like that :p But, if you wanna buy it, i may consider if your offer is up to it. :D

Nope...i no longer want anymore rx-7 in the coming few years coz' 3 of them is already a handful to maintain...whewww!! :D maybe when i'm really done with the setups for 3 of them finally.

I'm 6'2" or 3" and fit fine in my FC. So much leg and head room it's great. Most cars I sit in these days I have my knees in the dash. I'll never get rid of my rx7:)

ya, you're not too tall for the car... just don't expect to sit comfortably in it wearing a helmet

6'2" 210lbs, had to learn the trick to getting in my '82. Now it fits me like a glove and everything is right where I like it. This is my only car that I left foot brake. It's awkward to move my right foot over to the brake because the steering wheel is in the way. 2nd Gen. is roomier.
