Good afternoon!

Long time lurker here, have been entertaining the idea of finding my first P-car. I'm sure this has been discussed at length here but my biggest concern is whether i'd fit well enough in a 986S to justify the purchase. I'm prepared to run aftermarket seats (GT3 or SPG XL) if absolutely necessary but it would be nice to use factory seats (maybe with foamectomy?) so that my wife (5'6") could also drive the car from time to time.

I know that the 996 could work, but i'd prefer the smaller, nimbler 986 chassis if at all possible.

Would love to hear opinions!

Looking forward to hopefully joining the community!
