Default Am I to big to fit in the S2000?

I have been looking for a second car, wanted another 911, but can't find one that is as nice as I want.

So I was thinking after looking for 5 years, I would buy a S2000. That Laguna Blue is to die for.

The problem is I am 6'3" and almost 250 with big shoulders? I am tight in the car, it was in a 2003 when I drove one last.

Do we have any big guys like me around?

I am going to head over to Honda today, but don't want to be one of those fat women that should wear a 10 shoe, but kid them selves that they fit into an 8 and have all the fat spill over?

My son is 6'6" and 240 and it's a real tight for him.
He drives it once in a awhile but he would not have bought the car and wonders why I did - thus denying him the fun of using it.
Says we should have got the Vette.

ive seen bigger people than you drive the S. However it is not there daily driver. I am 6'2 and after about an hour or so, i have to stretch out. Most of the problem is due with the pedals being so close. On road trips I roll with flip flops and let the cruise control do the work, so you can slide your feet behind the pedals.

Just for the record, don't eat at McD, and run about 25 miles a week.
