How tall can fit in SL55 AMG?

Currently own an S550, and considering getting rid of my Challenger SRT8 for an 07+ sl55 AMG. I am 6'3" and weight in at 250. Amazingly there are NONE of these cars close to me. If I am going to go test drive one, I want to know that I am not wasting my time driving somewhere to do so.

Just looking to see how big some of you are that drive these cars. Thanks!

About your weight,... can't comment on that, but I've seen people getting off an R230 way heavier than I am (I'm around 100 kg). So you should be okay there also.

Don't expect the interior to be too spacious though. Despite its exterior dimensions, MB managed to keep the interior somewhat cramped (with its big dash panel, big seats etc.).

Damn you tall guys. I'm 5'9" and 172lbs and I fit in my car fine.

When I go to the bar to order drinks, I stand on my tip toes to hit on females if they are taller then me. LOL.

I am 6' 1" and 230 and I am totally comfortable. It has a bit more leg room and height than my old R129 so maybe you can find a previous model SL500 as a test case.
