Forget it!! I'm too tall!
 
AAArrrrrgggghhhh!!!

I'm 6"4 240lbs, i feel like im in my kids big wheel when sitting in the 350Z. I'm pretty mad at my genetic pool about now. I DID fit better in the G35 coupe without the sunroof, so I think I will order one of those instead.

I love the Z though!

LOL

I'm 6'2" 220lb I have soo much head room and foot room. Sorry for you! Guess all men aren't created equal...sorry again.

I'm 6'5" and 285lbs, the steering wheel is too low, but thats it. Oh, I wear a size 13 shoe. Got the 5AT. I always have to sit like an astronaut, so it doesn't bother me any more.

the Z is one of the most spacious 2 seaters around. but it depends how your hight is broken down, if you have very long legs or torso, then you might get cramped.

You are NOT too tall. I have heard of 6' 6" people that own S2000's and I'm sure Z's as well. I am 6'3" and couldn't find a fault in the Z (except the dead pedal was too small).

But it's your car so if you want to think you don't fit that's fine. I haven't sat in a G35 coupe but I doubt the actual numbers are much different than the Z. I mean head room leg room etc.

Good luck with whatever you decide:)

I test drive the G35c with sunroof last week. (my z is order and still on order). I felt more cramped in the G35c than the z. I think it was the sunroof. But the G35 feels a lot smaller and cramped than my 328Ci. My head hits the roof if I don't lower the seat back. I am 6'1".

Anyway, the G35 was FAST and I liked the engine sound. Cannot wait to get my Z!

rant - screw cost and bring back T-TOPS!
They cannot cost that much!

Screw t-tops; they compromise chassis rigidity and pile on another useless cost. The 240s didn't have no sinking t-tops and I'm tired of paying $!K, or more, for useless mandatory options, t-tops and sunroofs head the list. I've had both and they are crap I don't want or use. Lets hear it for a tin roof. I'm 6'5".

Make sure you lower the seat all the way down for some head room. It's kind of a lame lever to do so but it works. I don't know why they didn't just add that to the power options on the touring.

At 6'2" I fit with about 2" of headroom. At 6'4" you would need a shoehorn. Bummer, dude.
