I don't see GT3's at the track, they are too far ahead of me. Hehehe.

6'2" / 225 here and the 911 is pretty much the only sports car I fit in. I also like to ride with my young sons and even though the new F cars are roomier, there are no backseats there.

Actually, I just got home from Costco and you would be surprised how many cases of beer, toilet paper, beans, etc. you can fit in a 911. For some reasons, I always get funny looks in the parking lot when people see my overloaded shopping cart and my tiny car. But it all gets in.

The 911 is just the ideal is DD for me. I just need to remember to take all the stuff out when I go to the track...

phil_m is infamous around these parts
Have to say I didn't realize how roomy the 911 is until a test drive I had yesterday in an Aston Vantage. Beautiful car, but my head was touching the roof, and when I went to get out I clipped it pretty hard on the top of the door frame. Never had either issue in my 911 (I'm 6'4").
