once again, the PP TS Elise was at PIR for the ALMS race. I sat in the car(they would only let deposit holders get in it this time) and I have to say, the seats fit me perfectly. I slid the seat up and and I cant believe how snug everything this. Great back support and perfect superior/inferior position also. Seems like the car was made for me.... Love that small steering wheel also. The quality of the leather was just like I remembered it and was high quality. The pedal spacing is going to be perfect when I put on my replicats. With my wide sandals on, it was hard not to hit the brakes while hitting the gas pedal.

Im not very tall and big so if I fit prefectly in this car, Im wondering how the large 6'3" guys are going to fit in this car??? I also wonder how a size 10 shoe isnt going to have probs with pedal spacing. To be honest, I cannot see how a taller person could track the car with helmet on unless they go topless.

mact3333,

Funny you should mention about 6'3" guys....see my thread on this same topic.

I'm 6' 2" skinny and size 12 shoes, pedal spacing isnt a problem for me, I have chosen to wear driving shoes but I would be able to drive with most shoes, although I think wearing the big wide nike type athletic is problematic for me (it was on the 111R). Just feel more comfortable in a narrow shoe.

Plenty of head and leg room for me too, have been driving it daily since I got it. No problem with ingress and egress top on or off.

Helmet clearance

Hey, can you put a tape to your elise...

... and tell us how much torso room there is? That is, what's the measurement from the seat to the crown of the roll hoop/ body piece behind your head?

This would be useful to know, to calculate 'broomstick' clearance.

Thanks!
Scott

I'm 6'2" with size 12 shoes. I was told that the pedal spacing in the federal Elise was changed from previous versions. I drove the Federal Elise this weekend and did not have a problem with the pedal spacing in regular dress shoes. Yet it's still close enough for racing. Those brits did their homework. I'm not sure about the head spacing (with helmet), I can only speculate that it's enough for a 6'2" guy, but I know it also depends on the height of your torso. So for everyday driving, I can say that generally speaking us tall guys (I'd think at least up to 6'4") do fit.

I'm 6'4" and drove the Fed Elise, head clearance wasn't a problem neither was pedal spacing. I think the car is quite spacious inside as long as you are not too big on the "horizontal".

I haven't driven the elise yet, but did have a chance to sit in a press car. I'm 6'3" and although the fit was adequate, I have some reservation about the line of sight out the front windshield. Have to drive one to really know.
