Any word from any of you Big guys would be most appreciated!

I think you will soon find the cabin to be very claustrophobic. Most have dark grey or black interiors which only adds to the problem

The only thing that doesn't work is my hair slightly brushes the roof on the Coupe. I have the seat as low as it will go. So, comfortably wearing a helmet for a track day is probably out of the question.

As far as the claustrophobic comment...naw. I have a black interior and I am not bothered by it at all. Unless you are sensitive to that sort of thing, there is no problem here.

I also find it helpful when getting out to slightly lean the seat back. Then when I get back in, it is easy too and I hit the seat memory to return to driving position.
