Arrow How tall is too tall for SLK?

More of a general question. Seems like a little slk55 would be fun. I'm 6'2" and wondering how I would fit in it? Any taller drivers out there able to chime in?

I've been in an s2000 and though I "fit", my head was right at the top of the wind shield so instead of looking out through the wind shield, I was kinda staring at the top of the winshield. There are no SLK's around me so rather than driving hours away to find out "yep this is too small", wanted to ask here if anyone had input.

Thanks,
-Nigel

I'm 6'1 and have plenty of head room left but test drive one yourself and make sure it's right for you.
