Default Porsche 911 owners with “girth”?

Hello! Was recently at The Solis Hotel in ATL....huge garnering of 911 owners...now I’m no sumo wrestler or anything, but everyone at the hotel was maybe 5’9” and 165lbs wet...any manly 911 drivers out there...? Can the 911 be driven by “big boned” dudes?.

Absolutely! 'Big boned" and taller individuals are also in the mix with other 911 drivers. Check out the link below, it'll help you be more comfortable inside the car. Let us know if you have any questions!

6’ XXL Dude here.......my 991 with 18 way seats is very comfortable. How comfortable? Melbourne, Fl to Boston 1,367 miles in 21 hours with a few gas and rest stops along the way, plus I have put over 14,,000 miles on this amazing car since purchased 9 months ago.

6'5" and 250lbs here. 997.1 C2S. No issues for daily driving but barely enough room with helmet on during track days...I am split low so I sit tall in the saddle. I also installed a steering column extension which lengthened it by two inches, else I had to reach too far for the steering wheel.
