I'm thinking about buying a 05 srt6.

I'm 6,1 and worried I'm too tall for the car, how tall are you guys?? Are there any mods to get some extra room??

Thanks for any help

 

I don't think there are any mod's for this. I'm 5' 8 and it is very comfortable. My son in law is in the 6' 1 or 2 area and he doesn't like it. However I've seen some fairly tall people that drive these, get in it and drive around and decide how it fits for yourself.

 

I'm 6'-1" too and sit very comfortably in both the coupe and roadster. You really need to drive one at length to know for sure that it's comfortable for you. Everyone's body proportions are different.

Some people have replaced the seats with base model seats to gain a little extra room.

 

Yeah your too tall, I'm 5'11" so buy it for me as I'll fit into it much better.Or a good surgeon can remove a couple of inches of your legs and you'll be good to go in a year.
Or buy it and shrink into it as you age.

Most people who say they are 6'1" are usually just a little over 6', you'll be fine unless you have legs like a giraffe.
PS
I'm actually just over 5'10".

 

thanks for all the replys. The car is over an hour away so I don't want to waste my time by driving up there just to realize I don't fit into the car.

I just measured myself and Im actually 6ft even .

On a side note, the car Im looking at is an 05 with 19k miles for $17500. One owner, never seen rain, from the pics it looks to be in perfect condition, anything I should look for when checking it out??

 

5' 10" here and I have no issues with the coupe or roadster. The roadster will give you a bit more head room (even with the top up!).

 

I'm 5'10" but have a long torso.

When I have everything adjusted to a good driver's position (upright with the wheel close to my lap) sometimes my hair is pushed up against the headliner. It's really annoying. And no I don't have an afro.

Other than that, the dimensions are fine for me. If I was any taller though, I would probably have to pass on the crossfire.

 

I like your answer, had a good chuckle.

 

I agree on the roadster having more headroom. I'm 6'-5", 185 pounds. I didn't have enough headroom in the coupe, so I bought the roadster. The telescoping steering makes it all possible. It's more comfortable on long trips than 90% of the cars sold.

 

almost 6-3 and a bit to haul oneself in-hey, it's a sportscar, the room especially for leg room is really fine. Took me a bit to find the zone for the seat and back, but once I found the right combo of seat back, and bottom seat slide back there's more than enough. Enjoy!

 

i'm 5'11" and can get a perfect adjustment (even trad. italian style. lol). you just have to be mindful of the door-side bolster entering if you want to keep it pristine. i always tell those so inclined to hear that mileage/storage-condition/papers are the most important. if that all checks out to your satisfaction, then you're getting an amg for pennies on the dolla. then you get sucked into this forum for free.

 

I'm 6'0" exactly. I'm fine I think, albeit I've only had it for 800 miles and then put it away until spring. I would not want to have a better fun car. I have an Avalanche too and I sit high in that. I've always sat in every seat of every car I own with my butt stuffed right to the back. I like to sit tall. I've had to adjust that a bit in my roadster and I find I can sit quite comfortably and see very well when I sit with what I call, "attitude". That said, I don't think it is possible to get a good "lean" from a Crossfire. You keep deploying the coffee cup holder with your right arm! Then again... why would you want to drive that way? The leg room is excellent, regardless of anything else!

I find that it corners so spectacularly that it is more important to get belted in nicely and keep enough room for your arms and hands to hang on and steer! Kidding.

My son is 6'4 and he's a hard fit. Although he says he likes it with the top down. At 6'1, if this is to be your daily driver, you'd better really like it. If this is for fun and adrenaline ... you won't find a better vehicle nor a better group of interested owners who are willing to help you along with your endeavouors and make your Crossfire ownership more fun than anything you've ever owned. I'd say if this car is not to your liking... find one that is and join the fun! You'll learn to get your butt forward a bit, lean back and relax soon enough!

 

Totally agree, it's all in finding that "Sweet spot" with the power seat.

I'm 6'2" (not counting my fro) Never had any problems staying comfortable, even on 12 hour trips.
Many here are taller and still own coupes.
But roadsters offer more head room, so do Base cars.

 

6'2". It is snug, no doubt. Tried a coupe but it was a no-go.

 

Getting in and out is physically doable. It's the mental duress from all of the onlooker laughter that can get you down.

But once you're strapped in, leg run to the floor boards is generous. The passenger seat legroom in the roadster, oddly enough, is cramped due to the radio head amplifier laid against the firewall. But I guess they had to put it somewhere.

Buy it. You'll like it.

 

This guy removed the Knee Bolster for additional leg space. https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...e-bolster.html

 

Ask them if the I/C pump has been replaced. The OEM I/C pumps don't last long. If it hasn't and you're handy with tools, you can do it yourself for around $100.

Do a search on them to learn more.

That and the seat heater problem that is common on many Crossfires are the only issues with most.

 

6 ft 2 inches and no problem in the coupe or roadster. As others have said you need to find the right seat adjustment for you. I agree the passenger leg room in the roadster is a bit tight. I learned quickly to remove my wallet from my back pocket on longer drives. I find the seat very comfortable especially in aggressive driving. It holds you very securley and balanced for steering and footwork.

It sounds like a good price for a well cared for SRT.

 

I'm 6'3" and weigh 280 and fit very comfortably.

 

I'm 6'1" and fit in my coupe just fine. Drove the car 16hrs from Texas and didnt have one complaint about size and comfort after I removed my wallet from my pocket. It seems like removing the wallet is key to fitting comfortably in the car. I'm also 23 so I'm sure my comfort tolerance is greater then some of the older folk here.
