Try not to take offense but the better question is do you want to live to see the Porsche 999 debut? Seriously, 300 lbs!?

I think you can fit ...... but IMO the suspension may have to be 'tuned' and corner balanced to get the car to sit right. They are very light cars and 300 lbs is about 15% of the total weight on one side of the car.
