Default Anyone in the Worcester or Framingham, MA area?

I think I've been bit by the s2k bug, but want to make sure I actually fit (6'5"). Anyone in the area that would be willing to let me sit in their car and pick their brain over a coffee/beer? Thanks!

My 2 cents, I think you'd be uncomfortable given the non-adjustable and low steering wheel and low roof line. I think people over 6' start to feel cramped, from what I hear. I'm from Boston, wouldn't mind chatting over coffee somewhere. PM me and let's work something out.

The BYS lowering rails helped me fit more comfortably. I'm 6'3". 6'5" is definitely pushing it though.

My best friend is 6 5 and fits but just about. I also have an aftermarket seat that puts you near the floor. Definitely would need lowering rails at the very least

I'm in the Lowell/Chelmsford area, your welcome to sit in my car. I'm 6'1" by the way.

I'm in the Worcester area but currently using recaro pole positions soon to be swapped out to racetech seats. You would need to do some sort of seat modification to be comfortable i would have to say.

I don't think you'll feel comfortable at all in the S2000 at your height.

There are none for sale around MA?

Thanks guys - I'm on the skinny side so I'm banking on that helping.

I'd probably swap in something like the Recaro PPs + rails anyways.

I swung by to see this one (which I'd never buy), but the place was closed.

Hey there MSpeed, not trying to thread jack but my AP1 S2k is for sale right now. It's a 2002 in gran prix white with the red interior.

Check out out the Upstate NY section, I'm located just outside of Albany, NY.

Went to Framingham recently to sell my Mugen Exhaust too, so I don't mind traveling a little either.
