Actually ACRSteve could probably chime in here...but as I recall, in his 99ACR with his helmet, he fit comfortably (with a lowered seat though for sure)...and was UNcomfortable in our '05 SRT with his helmet on. Of course, our seat is not lowered....that made a big difference...so lower the seat! ~juli

Explaining Viper things to you
I am 6 ft 4 in 200 pounds. I sat in an '06 and my legs did not hit the dash, but I had to take my ball cap off. In my '01 GTS I can wear my cap but my left knee rides the dash a little. A 1" seat lowering kit helped slightly.

Gosh, I've somewhat agreed with Juli.

..Does the Gen 2's have more drivers seat room than the gen3's?...

Butt-room? Shoulder Room, Leg-room< Knee-room, foot-room? headroom? Elbow Room, Visibility? Having put 100,000+ miles on Gen 2s and 7000+ on SRT-C I can tell you without a doubt that I am way more physically comfortable, as a 6'3" 229lb guy, in my......

I am currently rebuilding an SRT convertible and it feels MUCH smaller than my Gen 1. I do have 2" seat lowering kits in both Vipers as I am 6'2" & 250.

I cant say for sure if it's reality or perception though as I've only spent about 4 miles behind the wheel of my SRT - but it definitely feels smaller. The side bolsters on the SRT are very pronounced, which may be adding to the feel of being hugged when seated.
