yep. I see that all the time too w/ Porsche. Get a 'full power seat' so you can shorten the 'inseam' and it works like a charm. - but not sure if this would work on the G's.

Even with the steering wheel all the way extended?

I guess you have this problem, and I have the problem of my head being uncomfortably close to the headliner.

In the 996 Turbo with the metal sunroof (so no inside sliding moonroof cover that takes even more headroom), with a helmet on, I have about 10mm of clearance from the headliner.

In order to get my 996 ready for the track i had to dismount the seats, install GT3 on the rails mounted to the floor. In the full recline slot, and with a helment on, my head hits the roof. I even take the cushions out of the seats and sit on the shell, which, i might add, hurts after a 1/2 hour on the track!

The G felt like i was a grasshopper so i can see what you mean.

Different seats, rails, and a patridge in a pear tree.

It would probably be cheaper to have your legs shortened.

I thought you can get "tall man" conversions on Lambo's. Or was that in the old days?

^ dont listen to him, he was dropped on his head alot

simple, get rid of the power seats and save an inch or two, take out the seat bottom padding and you should be set. You could also move the seat forward and the back, back.

Ive driven cars with 8" spiked hair before squated down or with my neck cocked, if you WANT to fit in it, you will.
