Its been years since I've sat in this body but im curious if I should even bother looking into one of these beauties.

Im 6'6" with a 36" inseam and a size 16 shoe for what its worth.

Are you sure you're talking about the right cars? The late 90s cars or the current production C43?

C43 AMG with a tune up
Maybe you should contact Kareem Abdul Jabbar, he can tell you on the spot if you'll fit or not in a W202?

Your worst nightmare...
I had a friend in NY well over 6 feet, and extended seats to the rear and didn't have issues with his C43. It was his daily driver.
as Pjmak stated, someone behind you will not be as comfortable.

I suppose I should clarify, it's fine if you literally never have anyone behind you. I raised 2 kids while daily driving my C43 so I had to make room behind me. I'm 6 feet, so it meant I had to get my right knee real comfortable with the bolster.
