It's more about torso length than overall height. I'm only 6'1 but I have a long torso. Even after I scooch down my head is still pretty much touching or maybe a half-inch clearance. To add to this, due to the lack of a telescoping wheel I can't lean the seat back due to arm length! I'm sure I could make it work but my driving position would be far from optimal and the performance would suffer. At 6'1 with a long torso (and a bodyweight close to 400 lbs), I've got about the worst body type for sports cars but I've made it work. I spent ~10 years in a '95 Miata, 18 months in a 350Z and now about two months in the 370Z.
