What is the tallest person who can drive or ride comfortably in a Challenger? How about rear seats? Thank you!

I'm 6 feet tall and I don't know if anyone has ever ridden directly behind me. Part of that is due to the manual shift. It throws me off if I have to adjust my seat forward a lot. However, I do not have the seat all the way back. When I do, I find it impossible to push the clutch all the way down, so I assume a person several inches taller than myself could still drive my car. My worst problem is when I get too close to a stop light. I have to lean forward and peak up sometimes to see the lights.

I had a 6'2" guy ride in my backseat a couple of times. He was comfortable. Maybe not for a cross country trip, but it was fine for a ride across town. The hardest part for him was actually crawling into the back.

6'1" here and I agree! First car I ever owned where I didn't have the seat all the way back. And, I can have the seat fairly upright; no tilting it back to fit properly. This is why I became a Challenger owner after being a GM man most of my life. The Camaro was way too cramped! A great car for all; especially tall guys!

If you really want a crazy answer I have it and it's TRUE I'm 6'2 and my nephew is 6'6-7 and has sat behind me:eek: now it was not comfortable but it was a emergency. Had to stop and pick up a lady and her brother that their Durango broke down on the way to a football game ( her brother has Down syndrome and is the water boy he was crying ) so that was 3 adults in the back and 2 adults in the front. And not little adults either;) and I have let my nephew drive also and he had no problem driving either.
Shannon sharp drives a hellcat challenger and Eric Ebron also drives a hellcat and those are very large football players

I am 6-2, 228 lbs, no problems at all, doubt that someone will have room behind me without making my leg room uncomfortable to drive a 6 speed. My grandson is 6 ft and had no trouble riding in the passenger side rear seat.

Sorry but with the seat back there is essentially no leg room behind the driver regardless of what people might say. I'm 6'0" and if I could move the seat back farther I would.

I'm just a little over 6' tall but I have short legs for my height, I wear a 32" inseam. My car has a sun roof and I'm fine in front but with a long upper body, the back seat doesn't work well. My head hits the sun roof but if I lean out board a little I fit. When I drive I have to move the seat up enough for someone behind me it sucks. For a short trip, not bad but a long one would be tough.

My oldest son is 6' 5-1/2" and doesn't have a problem sitting, even with his Mom in the back seat and she's 5' 4".
I'm 6' 1" and I couldn't fit in the Camaro with the seat all the way down and far enough back to reach the pedals.
