BIG BLUE Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I think you will find that the Aerotop roof panel area is thicker and hence lower than a hard top. Not by much, but enough when you are in struggling for headroom anyway. Here is a photo of me 'standing' near my Supra - I am really pleased that a car as amazing as the Supra, offers me a lot more driver space comfort that many bigger cars. If it fits a lanky / lump like me it will fit most people. Another thing, if you do go for new seats, don't buy fixed back race seats if you are a lump. I nearly had to call the fire brigade to get out of a race spec GTR once! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyP Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I wonder also if there's less headroom in the aerotop because of the thickness of the panels? Aaah. That probably explains it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Note to self: Don't argue with Big Blue No you certainly wouldn't, he's a big fella! I think you will find that the Aerotop roof panel area is thicker and hence lower than a hard top. Not by much, but enough when you are in struggling for headroom anyway. I can second that, Sir The aero panel is about an 3/4inch thicker than the hardtop, so not too much of a big deal I think Ian C is one of the tallest supra owners here, he's something like 6ft 8in but says he's never had a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
