Tall drivers?

[Tom_hd02]

Any tall drivers in this forum? I'm in the market for a DMC-12. never sat in one. I'm 6'0", 215 lbs, and I'm a little concerned about headroom. I've seen a few DeLoreans for sale in online auctions, but I'd like sit on one before moving on. Any DeLorean owners in the Boston area?

I am 6' 215 . I fit fine. Recline the chair.

You are fine. I am a tall, fat kid at 6' 1" and 330lbs but I fit in the car fine. You have nothing to worry about

DeLorean himself was 6’4”. He made sure he would fit in the car.

I'm 6'2 and 240 lbs. I fit perfectly fine with no issues. As somebody else also mentioned, John DeLorean himself was also very tall, that's also why there's an indentation in the doors so there's more headroom

Definitely find one to sit in first. Everyone's shape and size differs. And our height isn't 50/50, upper body/lower body.

Mind your knee/gut getting in when you do. The tendency is to whack the turn signal stalk getting in and out. If you see one with it bent forward, that's why. $131 at the moment for a replacement. https://store.delorean.com/p-7023-dl-wpr-switch.aspx

I’m 6’3” and all of my height is in my torso (my pants inseam length is only 32”), so you’ll fit just fine. If you have big feet you may have an issue with the pedal spacing on the manual transmission cars, though. If you wear bigger than an 11 you may have to find a pair of shoes with very thin soles, or drive the car barefoot.
