So, you are built like a SPIKE !? Before you look for a Wide-Track Aztec, consider..........

I am 6'3" 230 lbs, and I played tight-end for several years at "Settlers Bay Resort" (an Alaskan bar, where my rear end was tightly planted ...So my widest portion may not be my shoulders, if you get my drift! )

The adjustable pedals, seat-lowering kit, and visor-removal hint should make for a comfortable cockpit.

Where are you located? Post a "Beer Invite" and I bet a VCA member nearby will grant you an inspection.

stated -
I am only 6'-2", but I weigh 245 lbs and have a 55" chest and very big legs. I have no problems getting in or out.
I too drove my car home from a dealer 650 miles away. I was never uncomfortable at all. In fact, I felt like the seating
position, the snug, firm fit of the seat around my back and but, and the firm, agressive ride of the car amounted to a very
envigorating experience. Two years later, I still feel the same. It is my daily driver to work, the grocery, shopping, parts store, drag strip, etc. and I never get tired out by it.

Lot's of big guys own Vipers. I'm 6' 250. Sometimes it feels a little tight but I'll never complain about my Vipers.

I'm 6'3'' about 235 and I'm quite comfortable in the car, my waste is a 34-36, but I wear a 52 jacket so I'm no ball player, but I am "top heavy". My first drive in the car was 4.5 hours to get it home & I was completely comfortable, never stopped once, I was amazed actually.

Now, I did have a guy I met one night wonder if he could fit, & I invited him to try out the seat. He was about 6 feet even, weighed in at about 300lbs (not fat either), ex ball player and huge-massive boulder shoulders - he could have military pressed the car I think, he could NOT fit.

ROC, if you can't find a dealer with one, let me know. I lived in Columbus until '91. We should be able to find you one to test fit. I don't think it will be a problem.dj

We have a very active member in the Illinois VCA that has three or four Viper's. He also is 6'6", and around 400 Lbs. He manages to get around in all of his Viper's just fine. I think he has 2 RT10's and 1 GTS, plus a Pt and a Prowler.

So I guess size doesn't matter?

Gosh, I feel a bit of a dwarf at 5'6" and 120lbs. I might get into trouble if I discuss my chest size...(but, the straps on my racing harness I installed, stops the 'pints' from bouncing around)!
