Default Will I fit in a S2000???

So while car shopping I found myself looking at a lot of S2ks but I’m not sure as to whether or not I would fit

I am 6’7” and weigh 245 pounds...
responses would be welcome

Have you tried sitting one of cars you looked at? It might depend on your leg length to torso ratio.

I guess the only way for you to know for sure would be for you to sit in one.

You're overweight by medical standards by about 25 pounds (but don't register as obese). Even with the typical padding of height by 1" and magically shedding 10 pounds on your driver's license you're still not obese.

But I'm 10" shorter and 70 pounds lighter and I have to squeeze into my '06. Like clothes you're gonna have to try one of our cars on. There are some seat mods that can be done if you're close. Headroom will be tight and seeing out with the roof up is difficult for everyone. Early cars have less interior width, later have door cards that allow slightly more hip room and finding my seat belt buckle takes a bit of effort.

I don't think an s2k is the ideal car for you.

I'm 5'8", 235 lbs, not fat and I fit. Finding aftermarket buckets that fit you and the car (if that becomes a goal) will be difficult. The 6'7" will be more of a problem than the 245 lbs if you're not fat; you should fit if that is the case. You would probably benefit from an aftermarket seat that you can mount lower to the floor pan if you get an S2000.

I put my dad in my s as a passenger...once. Hes 6'6 and and maybe 250 it was comical. Maybe a seat could work some magic but doubt it.

Where's that extra 60 pounds of not-fat packed? All in your arms and shoulders?
