at 6 feet 2 and 225 (unfortunately, that would have been nice many years ago, now too much is fat), i drive with my seat one click up from full rear. The SPF pedal set is ok with my size 13's, but true, would be tight down there with combat boots.

Plenty of headroom with both the old and the new lower fabric top, too.

I find my car very comfortable with the 15 inch tires, too.

One thing to consider, is a leather wheel, it is little smaller than the wooden one, and gives more thigh room, plus i don't have any trasmitted road or engine vibration, even with my full race Bilsteins, with no urethane bushings, just hardened steel.

By the way, the pedals are pefect for heel and toeing, my son routenely does it naturally, but i have decided i need to be as proficient, so i am now practing it at all braking points.

Chris likes to Heel and Toe so much, he just adjusted the brake pedal on his Boxster so it is much easier for him to do.

You can also move the clutch "pick-up" closer to the floor, to give a few inches of left leg room.

I suspect much of this also applies to the ERA cars.
