I tend to be long legged so maybe I just have a short torso. Its just strange I'v never had an issue, maybe the cloth seats sit higher then the leather ones? I mean if your 5'10" and your hitting the roof. Greg maybe you have a bigger torso than me.

Guess that just shows how big of a dufus I'am, maybe I need to wear a helmet everyday..
I need to wear a helmet I always do the same thing. At work I always hit my head on the Damn lifts. Haha

I'm 6'4" ish and I've always thought I have plenty of head room... Maybe I just never noticed how low it is?

Yeah perfecrly. Got them at a yard for cheap. All leather interior. My ss came with Grey interior with cloth seats so I'm Converting to the black leather. I think it's the way I sit. I like to be close. A habit I got into when I used to race rally.

I'm 6' 4" and my head doesn't impact the ceiling, but if I don't shave my hair down to a #4 Buzz, then my hair brushes against it and is just irritating.

I do however, have to lean back and roll gangsta' if i'm to keep my back straight. Then I get the sore neck issues.
