Comfortably

Really ?? i am not a stick insect either to say the least.

I would say yes, but the Internet can't really give you all the answers. You should really get in some and test it for yourself. Perhaps a local meeting, either TIPEC or PCGB. They're all friendly.

Seriously not a problem. I'm 6'3'' and properly, amazingly massive.

I fitted in my old 996TT no problem at all, you will too.

[river_rat]

You will fit but you won't have loads of room but I managed for years at 6 foot 6

6'6", first porsche experience was a 996 targa. Plenty of room. Only issue maybe with foot hovering over the clutch there won't be much room between your knee and the steering wheel. Same as a 997 in that respect.

As above, should be fine but beware the aforementioned knee/steering wheel interface. You need to sit in one. If you are long in body I'd say youll fit.

Had a 996 turbo.

6' 4" and at the time 16st, long in leg and fitted just ok.
Had comfort seats, sports seats may have been a squeeze.

No worries m8 .
I am long in the body so should be ok.

I'm 6'4 and long in the leg and manage fine. Although I have the CD holder removed which gives me a little more legroom and stops my knee from hitting the steering wheel.
