I have caught Crossfire fever. However, I've never sat in one. I'm 6'1" and 200 lbs. Will I fit in coupe... comfortably?

You'll fit fine, keep in mind tho it is a two place car for any for any other purposes you might have in mind.

The seats are adjustable and the steering column telescopes so it is fine. I am your age and size and the only challenge may be pulling you legs in when you sit down. It is no big thing.
















i am your age and size and the only challengs

Thank you, copperfieldkid and ZERACER. In a way I was hoping I wouldn't fit so my fever would break. But now my temperature has risen. Yikes!

Recommend getting an SRT, with the supercharger you'll have plenty of fun on those roads in your area. Roadster or coupe those 75 MPH speed limits will seem effortless

Take two Aspirin, drink plenty of fluids and call your doctor in the morning.

Copperfieldkid, I'm torn. Yes the SRT has more zoom, but I'm still a stick shift kinda guy.

I have both, and can tell you that the manual is a lot of fun. It also feels more zippy than the auto. However, the SRT offers a different experience, not only in the power department, but also braking and handling. I used to live north of where you do, and the SRT will do a good job of handling the high elevation and dry air.

nemiro, thanks to your thoughts. At least the car was made for only a few years and in only a few models so that helps the decision process.

I’m similarly sized and, for me, I could use about 2” to 2.5” lower seat height and the ability to put the seat back a little more. I don’t enjoy looking out the top third of the windshield. There are some posts about how to get the seats lower, it’s a weekend project for sure. I plan to do it when I pull the seats out to repair the seat heater wires.

Putting the seat back more doesn’t look possible unless you are a creative fabricator.

oh, and the seats are fairly hard. I had to get memory foam pads to be able to spend more than an hour in the seat. And that adds to the height problem.

Otherwise I love the car. 6 speed is great.

nemiro: 6-3 and 240. Yikes! I wouldn't want to run into him... either in or out of the car.
