at about 6'7"+ and 240, i'm pretty darn close in size. I shopped for one that had a perimeter frame, not the 4" round tube original style. Legroom is one thing, but if you mount your seat on top of the 4" tube, you gonna look like Dino from the flintstones, your shoulders will be above the window frame! I sit between the frame rails in mine, the bottom of the seat is on the floor pan, and I look 100% normal in it... until i crawl my way out and people realize how tall I am. Mine was a very low volume Can-Am cobra. I'm sure there are other brands built the same way.

Thanks Mark for the information! Who was your builder? Cheers Dan

Either you were asking Mark, and quoted the wrong one or you were asking me, Tony:

My car was Shelby CSX4005LA (chosen because it was comfortable to sit in and also because it was carbon fiber and thus hail resistant.
