Default Looking to avoid getting boot F'ed by you giys.

I was looking at buying another sports car than a corvette.
Viper
911 with LS engine
928 with LS engine

Now I am a larger guy 6'5 230 lbs.
My question is I have never even say in a Porsche or viper. Would I fit in these cars? I would assume I would fit in a viper but not sure on the 911 but the 928 is bigger and I thought it was cool in risky business. But I saw a viper gts today and it made me stand at attension. Any thoughts or input would be great by the way I am keeping my C4.

If Ronnie Coleman could sit in a Viper (and own one), I'm sure you can too lol.
Get the Viper. All the way Viper. Would kill for a blue/silver '96 GTS Coupe.
Vipers look at least 28,954 times better than 911/928's and you hardly ever see 'em around.
And if you bought one of those Porsches, would you be doing the LS conversion yourself, get someone to do it for you, or buy it with the LS already installed?
Unless you're buying it with the LS already in it, why go through all those headaches and waste your time when you can buy/afford a better car and one which you don't have to go through all that?
Oh yeah, and I can't imagine someone-Michael-Jordan-size being comfortable in a little Porsche.

I tend to agree that the Viper is the best choice for sex appeal.

Years ago I (6' tall, 190lbs) sat in a 928 and it felt uncomfortable.

Can you fit an ls engine in the back of a 911? Second question, why?

Both of those are very good questions.

Im 6'5, and in no way shape or form fit the 2000 era vipers. I can get in them, but forget shifting them...

I fit in the modern 911's just fine. I almost bought a 01 TT, and then recently an 07 TT and fit comfortably in both.
