I am 6'8" and 270 and I have never been able to get behind the wheel of an Elise. Supervixen's 6'6" BF must be a beanpole contortionist

Most of the MBZ's outside of the SL/SLK are pretty good on room. How about a CLK63BS?

I said Elise. I do fit in Boxsters, not very comfortable, but do-able.

Don't know what to tell you - the owner is bigger than me he just keeps the seat back. Hardest part for me was stepping over the carbon sill and sliding in (hardtop was on)

Funny you should mention that because that was the hardest part for me as well.

I would consider drastic surgery to alter my size if the opportunity to drive a CGT was put in front of me and I could not fit. I'll never forget the day a good friend of mine picked up his newly purchased, mint condition 62 vette convertible, fuelie, red/white, etc. It was absolutely gorgeous as he drove it up to my house. He looked at me and said, you wanna take it for a spin?" With joyous anticipation I walked over to the drivers side door, sat on the seat with my legs still outside the car, looked at that steering wheel in a fixed position way too close to the seat and .........

I did not get to drive it
