How tall do you have to be for the OEM rollbar to be a problem?

Hi All!

I found an absolute gem of Boxster recently and I'm hoping to purchase this week. It's a 2000 S model with 64k miles. Not planning on doing IMS upgrade as that would be 50% of the cars value.

Question for you. I plan to daily and track the car for some fun on the weekends. I'm about 6ft tall and I'm worried with a helmet on I won't pass the broomstick test with the original rollbars. I was looking to get the roll bar extension to run with PCA HPDE's, but I'm not sure that the extra 1 3/4" it provides is enough for the broomstick test either since you need 2" clearance from the rollbar to your helmet.

Can anyone calm my nerves before I take the leap on buying? Has anyone had any experience with this? Thanks very much all! Cheers!
