Default WILL I FIT !?

Hello everyone I'm a 6ft5 male from the UK, I drove an s2k yesterday on a test drive HOWEVER, I found that the steering wheel seemed a little to low for me, to my surprise you couldn't actually adjust the steering wheel, is the steering wheel supposed to feel abnormally low or am I just purely too tall ? Thanks.

i think your a little tall for an S2k my friend, afraid to say im 6,2 and i have the seat fully back, my friend had one and he is 6,3 and he said if his knees were any higher he would have trouble steering.

you're a bit tall my friend. i've heard if you're below 6 feet, the S2k is a perfect fit.

(i'm 5' 8" and i think my S fits like a glove!)

Im 6'4 all legs and fit fine! that being said ive got a broad background racing cars that dont have much room to begin with. If your ok with having your knees bent then you will fit just fine in the S2k.

That makes me feel better, I'm all legs too, I just thought the steering wheel felt a little low down I can have more of a play about with the seat though.

The first thing most tall drivers do is get a lower seat bracket OR if you have the cash get a set of nice seats, most of them sit lower than OE.

I think alot of it depends on your width/waist/thickness as well. I'm almost 6'3, but pretty skinny and I think the S is perfect. I even scoot it in one notch when I'm on the track as I feel more "connected" to the steering wheel in that position.
