I’ve been looking at 99-01 Porsche carreras and I’m a 6’2 man so I was wondering if I was too tall or not to fit in one.

I’m 6’0” and have no trouble in my 99 cab. The problem begins when I wear a helmet; my helmet just barely touches the top.

BTW, the ‘99-01 cars are in the 996 forum. The 911 forum is for air-cooled models.

I’m 6’ and I have no issue fitting inside my 77S. You might find the steering wheel too far away but an aftermarket wheel and hub can bring it comfortably closer. These cars are surprisingly roomy- my 6’7” brother in law easily and comfortably fits in the passenger seat.

I'm 6'6", 36" inseam.
However, for the 996, I fit fine, and I think you'll have no problem. You'll have 4" to spare! Getting the seat into the one position where my head wasn't too close to the roof was a bit tricky. Seat position actually isn't all the way back. Too far back and the roof slopes down, so you lose headroom. But overall, I found a good position, and don't really notice any issues. I'm not sure I will ever be able to qualify for a track day wearing a helmet, as I"m probably too close to the roof, but I haven't tried.

You might have to do the GT3 console delete. Without that, my right knee was in the steering wheel, and my right hand ran into my knee whenever turning right. It was a pain. But with the lower console removed, there is a ton more room for my right leg, and I haven't given it another though.

My father in law is 6'5", and he fits in my C2 and Turbo no problem.

I’m 6’4”, and I’ve had no issues fitting into any of the 911s that’s I’ve owned over the years.

Go sit in one, I fit fine at 6'2" 210lbs

I have a Cabriolet. I'm 6'3". I fit fine. The only issue is that I cannot use the windscreen. The seat is too far back.

RC713

As the others have said, you should have no problem. I’m over 6’and fit fine. Thought I remembered reading a while back that one of the top execs at Porsche was 6’6” and was adamant that he and his likewise situated well above average height brethren be able to fit in any car that they made. Urban legend, maybe, but my Porsche’s are the only manual transmission cars that I’ve ever driven that I can’t get the clutch pedal fully depressed if the seat is all the way back.

This has got to be a trick question. Really?

Depends on your proportions. I’m 6’-4” with long torso. I can get in, but ‘fit’ in is subjective. I have ultimately mounted my seats To the floor in both an ‘85 911 and now my 996 Targa. without doing so a helmet was a no go and view through windshield was compromised. The targa bought me more headroom than a sunroof coupe with standard seats/mounting. I also removed windshield mounted rear view mirror as it obscured views on right hand corners.

you can see here that I gained about 2” with driver side floor mount compared to passenger slider mount. You could also take some foam/cushion out of standard seat bottoms too.

I am just over 6'2" with long legs and have no problem fitting in my 996. Now getting out of the car is a little harder than getting in, but I have no head clearance issues and legroom is good. I can't say the same for Caymans, C-4 Vettes, 2000s Mustangs, 90s - early 2000s Camaros, Miatas.

6'2" 215#'s and fit just fine in my 05 C4S with a sunroof which takes up headroom. As mentioned above might have problems with a helmet.

The other thing to consider isn’t just height - it’s width. Two very large guys sitting in the car could almost have their shoulders touching.
