As for the Viper you might want to sit in the new one. It is amazing!

Holy cow, Kevin. Why does your signature say that your 1LE is sold?

See, that's what I don't quite get. 6'7" fits, I'm 6'2" and my head is against the roof on a 'vette. The 2001 Viper, the top of the window frame was directly in my line of sight. I could, and would have to, look over the windshield to drive it.

My daily driver is a pt cruiser convertible and I have 3-4 inches of head room, the Camaro about 2".

It probably depends on the generation of Viper. I have tall friends that drive the Gen IV and Gen V. But again that's with the simple seat lowering mod. I think you just remove spacers under the seats.
