I'm 6'-2" and 220LB. I have more space in my Elise than in the S2000. However, I'm lowering the seat rails in the S2000 and make something to replace the door handle (foldable or soft), to give my upper legs more room.
Rijk is that you??? It's Norman! LOL

I hope all is well I ended up not getting the Lotus and leased an S2000 through my business.

Take care and call me when you return to NY.

buddy of mine is 6'6" 200lbs and fits fine. A bit snug, but that is because he is tall. I am 5'10" 180lbs, and it fit great. Seats are a bit loose through the twisties, though.

Norman,

How about that. Congratulations with the S2000. I'm getting mine next week Thursday. I decided to keep the Lotus in the Catskills and get the S2000 to ship to the Netherlands.

Norman, you will probably find the seat bolsters a bit tight for a while -- they will dig into your upper back area a bit. Give it some time, they will mush in after a bit and it will be fine. You might find that you are more comortable if you put the seat forward a notch or two and then lean the seat back.

Rijk,

Pretty small world... I see all of your cars with exception to the Porsche are all the same color... Pretty cool

Are you back in NY or in the Netherlands? Lets get together and see what the Lotus and S2000 are like.. Maybe a little bit of follow the leader on the twisties?
