6'3" average torso; 95 s14 (w/ lumbar adj) w/ moonroof.  It's TIGHT.  

In an OEM seat, your head will graze if you get the moonroof.  DON'T get that option if you can help it!!

Aftermarket seats generally raise you.  The OEM seat is pretty much on the floor (about 1" b/n seat botton and floor).

I took apart my seat and removed about 1.5" of foam padding from it, which lowered my final seating position by .5-.75".  Now I have a bit of room - but there is still a 50/50 chance my "do" will be mussed before I get anywhere.  

If you plan to wear a helmet (i.e., autox, or track), you really shouldn't get a sunroof.  Even w/ the shaved seat, I take about 3 minutes just getting my seat in place so I can crook my head just right to fit.
