Question Tallest Z Owners?

Alrighty folks, as you may know, I'm Z obsessed. I'm also 6'8", and 300 lbs. Sports cars and I have a long, stormy relationship. I sat in the Z, and noticed it wasn't terribly tight like the RX-8 and the only foreseeable problem I noticed is the head room. But after this summer, that shouldn't be much of an issue. I'm just wondering who are some of the taller drivers are on this site, and if you have any issues. Thanks in advance.

I have a friend who's 6'6" and he told me he was surprised at how much room there was inside the Z.

I'm 6'4 and it was a concern before I bought my Z until I found a couple different comfortable angles of the seat back.

I'm 6'1 and I have to say that driving Z has been a pleasure. Very comfortable.

lol if you tried to get into an s2k, you would NEVER be able to get out.

i think the answer to all your problems is to get a roadster Z and drive it only on sunny days. the roof of a roadster is like shorter than the coupe. i feel cramped in my brother's roadster but i have all the room in the world in my coupe. =)

6'4" and I fit perfectly fine. For some reason I feel that the tilt on the wheel in the Z is a lot more than other cars...I dunno, anyone else notice this or just me?

Same here. Fits like a glove. And I thought the S2k was tiny when I sat in it.
