Question for taller S2K owners...
I am 6' 1" and 220. The car is snug (due to my weight) but I am quite comfortable.
Seat is a couple of clicks from back and slight rear tilt to the back.
The seat bottom is quite short. Not sure why, but Honda ( AND A LOT OF JAPANESE CARS) seem to not give a hoot about lower thigh support which I think is POOR. Our Honda Accord Hybrid has the same short seats. It may be so they can cheat and claim more cu. ft. of passenger space.
I got some plastic spacers and put them under the seat front, it helps support longer legs. (zilch for custom seat adjustment is another short coming of the AP1 not sure what the AP2 has).
The car is still the best around for the reliability, performance, looks and $$ so you should be very happy.

6'2" 200 with no problems. I do have the seat all the way back and all the way reclined, but I fit. It can be a little tough getting into the car and it feels snug when you first get in, but soon you don't even realize how small the car is. You're having too much fun to feel cramped at all.
...always wondered if the seat would slide back more if some interior plastics behind the seat were removed?
anyways since you want to track it, consider an aftermarket seats with low-side mount rails to gain losts of head/leg room.

5"11 195lbs Here is how I felt about the cars I've been looking at. I seem to need more legroom than most of my friends when I get in someone else's car.
Boxster 987S: Took it out for a test drive and it really took me a lot of time to try and get the seat comfortable. Never quite got it perfect, either couldn't move it far back enough or the seat was too upright. I'm not sure if this can be resolved.
MZ4: Seats have great electronic adjustments. Once adjusted, plenty of room behind the seat, I was surprised I wasn't touching the back. Although the interior felt a bit cramped or in my chest. Also not sure about the over hang, difficult depth perception when parking.
S2000 (AP1/2): Seat all the way back and reclined the seat back. Perfect fit. Right height, leg room, and seating position.
S2000 2007/8: New seat design has different leather and more cushion. Seating is very similar to before but this time I sit a bit higher than before. Steering wheel is a bit to close to my knees. If I get this car I'm likely going to get aftermarket low seat rails.
NSX: Perfect Fit, best driving view, comfortable, support, etc. This is the car I really want. Although I'm looking for NA2 2003+ which is $58K~+.

At 6'1" and the good kind of 200lbs lol I was afraid I wouldn't fit either. Def gives you plenty of room and never had a problem fitting in it and getting comfortable. My car is also just a weekend car as well and the only problem I had was when I went to Albany to pick up the AP2 headlights (1.5 hrs one way) on the way home my lower back was kind of aching alittle bit. Had to move around alittle just get comfortable again.

fit is fine, but a bit high. my issue is when the top is up, its hard to see using the rear view mirror, as I cant get the angles to line up. I can't see straight back unless i duck a bit. seat rails would fix that, but its not a big deal.
You might find the cabin a bit too 'tight,' as that was my first emotional impression, but after a few weeks i found i liked it that way, as it give me the feel of control. my only example of why i felt this way is the layout of the controls and such at my fingertips.
