Super Coupe vs Turbo Coupe inside space January 30, 2010, 10:34:39 PM Hi,I'm wondering if anyone can tell me whether or not the super coupes have more room or less room inside than the '87 turbo coupes. The reason I ask is I currently have an '87 Turbo Coupe that I'm going to end up selling because I'm just too big for the car; I'm 6'2 and 300+. Basically I'm looking to find out the the leg room, hip room and the height room. I found this info on edmunds.com about the '90 SC:Front Head Room: 38.1 in. Front Hip Room: 57.6 in.Front Shoulder Room: 59.1 in. Rear Head Room: 37.5 in.Rear Shoulder Room: 59.1 in. Rear Hip Room: 56.6 in.Front Leg Room: 42.5 in. Rear Leg Room: 35.9 in.can't find anything on the Turbo Coupe because they don't go back past '90.I really do love tbirds, but the turbo coupes, at least, aren't made for tall & fat people. -Andrew Quote Selected
Super Coupe vs Turbo Coupe inside space Reply #1 – January 30, 2010, 11:09:47 PM well, i have a friend your size and he fits fine in the mn12s. infact... he's had 4 i think since i've known him with no complaints. i have a sport 88 and a 90sc and the mn12 definitely has more room, in fact, i know mn12 seats themselves are wider then fox seats from trying to make one fit onto a fox seat track.

I just really want to replace the turbo coupe with another tbird down the line and I also love the 5-speed super coupes. Quote Selected

Super Coupe vs Turbo Coupe inside space Reply #7 – February 01, 2010, 06:06:48 AM I drove Fox Cougars for six years until I got my '96. While driving it for the first month or two, my arm kept slipping off the door panel where I tried to rest it (habit from the Fox). It felt like there was 10' of space between me and the door. The Fox interior is much, much tighter (which I prefer) over the MN12. Quote Selected

Super Coupe vs Turbo Coupe inside space Reply #14 – February 01, 2010, 01:43:23 PM The SCs have power adjustable bolsters on the side of the seatbacks to "hug" you in place.It is my understanding that on the first year or two (89/90) the bolsters were bigger (stuck out more) and made getting in/out of the seat a bit more challenging. For that reason the bolsters were redisigned to be a little less obtrusive.You may want to research for sure which years had which versions of the seats...May help you with ease in and out.
