Wondering if I have a record here. A friend of mine was an offensive lineman for the Bears. 6'4" 315. He was able to get in and, in a testiment to his athleticism, got out in 6 secs with the steering wheel still in!

No, he would never make weight and yes, I think I need to replace my L side suspension.

Anyone top that?

Pics up later.

You would STILL have to add weight to the passenger side floor? That is AMAZING! You have one light car my friend! Posted Image

Kyle, the normal practice in the SCCA when classing cars is to use a driver weight of 180 pounds. :huh: Right or wrong that is "supposed" to be the SCCA standard.

Now back under my rock. -_-

Heck, Kyle, I don't think I can even get out of my car with the steering wheel still on. Granted, you're like 7 feet tall so the seat is way back there, but still... damn!
