Default anyone 6-2 250lbs. ever sit in it?

i was woundering if any "bigger" guys have sat in the 350z. if so please advise of the room they had or had not. Also do the seats go back far enough and do they adjust up and down as they say it has 6 way adjustable seats. Thanks a bunch!!!!!!!!

About 6'1" 275-280

Plenty of room. More than it appears!

The seat was all the way back. The driver was 6'8". I would have pulled it forward a few clicks believe it or not. . .In every other car I sit with the seat all the way back! I didn't mess with the wheel but I have heard complaints it is too high. . . not for us though I think it will be perfect. The seat backs were great and the side bolsters were perfect as was the seat bottom. It all fit just right, like it was made for me (and you).

About my only hold back before pre-ordering my Z was 'will I fit'. Being 6'-3" and 240lbs I'm a little weary of how well I'll fit into the car, especially with a helmet on. After seeing the size of the car in pictures and the headroom numbers posted on this site, I figure I'll have a 98% shot of fitting in the car with no problem. It's really not the seat position forward/aft, it's the headroom. I like sitting close to the steering wheel, but I can't stand my head touching the headliner. The car has about 1.5" more headroom then a C5 Vette (from the numbers I found on this site), and I fit into a Vette with about 1" to spare so I should have more headroom then in my 99 Civic. [crossing fingers]

When I was test driving the Z06, the hairs on the top of my head kept brushing the headliner. . . it was distracting. There is plenty of headroom in the Z. Getting in and out is easier than imagined as well.

ls350 , i too was looking at a c5 vette, but the damn thing cuts ur view off from like the middle of my forhead, also with such a wide *** car as the c5 u only get minimal seat width. the damn center console is almost a foot wide. So after a year of wanting a vette i decided it was not going to be the car for me. The strangest thing of all is the only sports car i feel comfy in is the audi tt? It is the smallest, but has plenty of shoulder room, and the seats move downward about 3 inches. But i have fell in love with the 350z and really want to get one, if it fits me.... also everyone do these seats move up and down (sixway adjustable)? thanks.
also im 6-2 290......... just seeing if the pic upload works.?

silvrz5, haha all sounds too familiar. I too was was looking at vettes. Just a little too tight for me all the way around. Then I drove a TT. Man was it roomy. The Z is not as roomy but is the closer than any other car I have driven. Good Luck!
