None of the GT3s have been delivered yet, but I didn't have an issue in the 918 at 6'4" and 220#s.

My GT3 should be in RI next week with buckets...

I also fit fine in standard size racing buckets.

I have the GT2 sport bucket seats installed in my 991 GT3. Very comfortable for long drives but for my size (6'5", 240 lb), a bit of a pain to get in and out of the car. I have no idea how my seats compare to the new LWBs but I can't imagine the dimensions and comfort to be much different.

Its not a height problem (especially with height adjustment) and it simply comes down to your beam (yes I threw in a boating term there). I'm 6',0" and have a 38 waist and although I'm tight into most race buckets (some are too narrow), when I sat in a 918 recently it was tight but I wouldn't deem it uncomfortable once planted....it is a bit difficult to get in and out but most deep buckets are.

6'4" 260 shoved the CS bar al the way back and lifted the front up 1"
This was all 997 GT3's, looking forward to inputs of 991's

Sorry - what is the CS bar?
Curious How well you fit in the 997 GT3 as similar size

I guess it has more to do with the bulk rather then height.
At 6'5" and 220lbs I have no problem fitting in a 918 or CGT.
Getting in and out is a bit more complicated because of my long legs (butt first, swing legs in)

CS ClubSport, the way GT3's supposed to come, with the not available here CS Euro option.
