I am 5' 11" and I can't fit with a helmet. Head touches which isn't comfortable at all. If you are ever going to track or autoX, no sunroof. Also while its seems to be a rigid car, cutting a hole in the roof has to effect the rigidity of the car for competition driving.

I am 6'2" and the sunroof takes too much headroom especially if you race and wear a helmet.

Yeah, your English must need quite a bit of help Dude. The words "less of a man" are in none of my posts. That is merely your interpretation.

Regardless of how anyone interprets your post, it's fooking stupid and completely incorrect to suggest that "sunroofs are for women". Granted that is your opinion and it matters to no one on earth but you.

On my 5th gen ZL1 I have a sunroof. I had no idea I would track it, when I purchased the car. In order for me (6'2") to fit with a helmet I have to move the seat FORWARD and then lean the seat back. Not the most comfortable or ideal position. And that is with the seat as low as it can go.

So that is why the common answer is, if you are going to track it, do not get a sunroof.

Do that, and you may be happy with the fit. Of course, such things are very much personal preference, but give it a try, if you care to.
When, I was trying out the car for size, I think head room has a lot to do with your seating position. Some people like to sit back with arms more extended. For racing, I have heard that being up close to the wheel uses smaller more precise muscles for better control so the laid back position is more of a no-no. I think a 6'3" person could fit in but your experience could vary depending on how you like to sit, how upright you like to sit, and how far from the steering wheel you like to sit.

Its like playing online games, you always have a smartaSS who has dumb things to say. Point being how does a sunroof equate to women drivers is what he was saying, I have no idea either. I wonder who the old t-tops were for?
