the reason i didnt buy the 03 cobra is because my brother has one and didnt wanna follow in his and my dads footsteps with high powered stangs i wanted to be different and it was actually 10 grand cheaper..cowles ford had the red i wanted and it was a 2002 no difference in 03 and 02 besides the cd player mounted in dash on 03 but o3 had the wheels i didnt want so i saved 3 grand of a 03 lightning for the truck i wanted good buy huh and already got parts coming bassani exhaust traction bar and air filter

 

I'm 6-4, 235-lbs and have no problems with the fit in my S2000 nor in my SVT Lightning however going from the truck to the Honda feels like I'm one-foot off the pavement.

 

I'm 6' 4" and 245 and I don't have that big of a problem fitting in my S. Getting in and out is a PITA cause this car needs a tilt steering wheel but other than that it fits like a glove (or at least like the ones OJ had). Congrats on the purchase though, I'm not a Ford guy by an means but that is one hell of a truck.

I don't know about this...doesn't sound right.

"I wanted an S2000, but I didn't fit so I bought a Lightning pickup truck"...?!?

Who wants a light, high-revving sportscar but picks up a sporty pickup instead? Really - there are other cars out there that offer more nimbleness and similar power (or power/weight ratio) as compared to the Lightning.

If not an SVT Cobra, why not a 350Z? Used Vette? Even older used Porsche (with more headroom and legroom than an S2000)?

Anyone else wondering this...?

Not to mention, there are quite a few guys here that are quite big that don't seem to have that much trouble fitting in without any mods to the seats and such...

Perhaps I'm paranoid, but as I said, this doesn't add up.

 

I'm 6'3" 225 and fit perfect.

How does it feel to be a proud owner of a Ford? My experience with Ford had been very negative and thus I was never proud except the day I sold the POS to some unknowing buyer. I will never own a Ford again.

 

Sweet man! Goodluck and happy Truckin.

BTW To all of those posting about height, remember that his legs could be longer than yours. I'm 6'2 with short legs so I fit fine, but my uncle is 5'11 with long legs and has trouble.

 

I just traded my S2000 for a GT convertible. I really liked the S2000 but needed a backseat for my kids. I am 6'2" and find the GT WAY more comfortable (ever wonder why used S2000s are such low mileage). I miss the handling of the S2000 but really like the V8. My Mustang also has an adjustible steering wheel. Hopefully will purchase another S2000 when kids move out in 30 or so years.
