Do I fit?
 
Im 6' 2" and weigh about 300lbs, do i have a chance at fitting into a 914 car or am i crazy?

I'm 6'4 and weigh 220. I fit just fine in my 71 914-6!!!!

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.

You'll Fit
 
After my divorce I was tipping the ole scales at 300 and was able to fit in my '70 914. Jump in a drive it man!

I am 6'2" as well. And was over 200#, no issues even before i lost 45#, but as a physician i would tell you to do yourself a favor and loose 50#! I can give you a 100 reasons but here i will say just do it!
