964: OK for big guys?

I know I fit well to drive in a 924, in a 944, and in a 997 but I`ve never driven a 964 so I wonder if I will fit comfortably
I'm 6' 4" and weight between 220 and 240 (long arms and legs) is there anybody my size or bigger in this forum?

No problem here at 6'5" and 295, but I don't have a sunroof. I fit in stock 964s and 993s fine...without a helmet. I bolt the seat to the floor if there is a sunroof and I am going to wear a helmet.

I, too, am 6'3, but at 195lbs, with a lot of my height in my upper body. I do not fit with a helmet - I needed to weld in lower seat mounts for my race car. With no helmet in a street 964, my head brushes the ceiling, but I am a close/upright sitter.

If you fit well in a 944 you won't have any trouble with a 964. FYI I used to have a hard time fitting in my 944 with a helmet on and I'm only 5'11". I fit fine with the helmet in the 964.

6'3" 185lbs. and I do not fit in a stock 964 with a helmet on. Without one it's fine. I just installed racing seats and they turned out to be lower so now I fit with my helmet without slouching.

Im 6' 3" and 230 lbs (36" inseam and sleeve length) - I was more comfortable in the 944 for long distance driving as I felt there was more leg room. My 964 is OK but only because I have a Momo wheel and spacer to bring it closer to me for better knee clearance. Head room is fine in my sunroof coupe but I have never tried it with a helmet. I prefer a more upright driving position.
