fitting a cayman at 6'2"

I have a 997 and have plenty of room but I really like the Cayman. There seems to be very little leg room with the seat fully back. Any of you guys have the problem or solutions?
I also have a couple of 356's and they have way more leg room than the Cayman. I know it is the mid engine thing but wondering if anyone has solved it yet.

You must have mighty long legs. I'm 6'1", but short waisted with long legs (34" inseam), and I have no problem in the cayman. In fact, I drive with the seat several notches forward, and push it back when I exit. I have the seat in its lowest position, and the steering wheel up all the way in order to keep it off my knees when shifting. If you assume a seating position that offers maximum control, seems like you ought to fit.

There is noticeably less room in the Cayman, however I still do not think it is that bad. I have taken a few road trips with it and two people in the car - I felt it was very comfortable. I am 6'3" and about 190 lbs. w/ a 34" inseam.

I’m 6'3" and it’s not a problem, albeit with the seat all the way back. I think the Caymans limit stock would be 6'5" but that depends on how you like your driving position. Typically I’m one who likes to barley be able to reach the peddles.
