Anyone over 6'3"/250 lbs?

Able to fit in this thing?! When I went to pick up my plates I gave the Sky the once over. I honestly don't think I could get inside there. If I could I don't think I'd want to spend a whole lot of time in it.

It's a beautiful machine, but if I want to drive it I'm gonna need two, one for each ass!

shoot man Im 5'5'' and everything was comfy, but the shifter, pedals, radio controls and all the other eminaties felt so wrong. I wish the shifter was atleast 2 inches higher. Like Alpha said, the ebrake under the right arm was uncomfortable.

Hmmm so it's not just me. I wonder (never having sat in any of these) are S2000's, Soltice, MX-5 all the same story? I wonder if durring R&D it occurs to them they may be alienating a big part of the enthusist population.

I'm 6' and 190. My father owned a Miata for 10 years or so. It was about as tight as it could comfortably get. You have to realize, 6' is still 5" more than they used to give us. They always used to say no one larger than 5' 7" could drive a sports car.

Have you large guys tried sitting in a Corvette?

My brother is 6' 7" 250lbs... I have seen him climb into one... It was funny till I realized he can never own one because he would not be able to enjoy driving it...

Shoot even when he drives my Redline it is funny enough let alone a car that has a seat that only sits two inches off of the floor!!!

Poor poor big men… and to think I used to wanna be as tall as my brother growing up… poor guy.

I'm 6'1" 220 and I feel like I am the absolute biggest person to fit in those cars. I can drive the stick, but I wouldn't want to drive one of those on I-294 (yay Chicago traffic!). I could own one, but only as a second or third car.

I got to drive a 3rd gen twin turbo RX7 once and that was damn tight too so I think an s2000 and similar cars would be out of the question, but if I can ever aford a Viper I dont care if my head sits out the top. Its mine!
