350z and Tall people
6'2'' at 215 lbs and the Z is reallly comfy to me. I just drove it on an 8 hour roadtrip (each way) and had no problems. The ONE area i find a little imposing is the point where the bucket seats squeeze hits me right in my lats...so that can get a little old sometimes. But overall, not a big deal...just sit up a lil more and it fixes the problem!
GET ONE!!! YOU'LL LOVE IT!

This car really fits well, I actually think its better to be taller in this car.
1. I can rest my elbow comfortably on the top on the door panel.
2. With the seat all the way back its easier to check your blind spots out the 1/4 windows
I can't heel toe in this car though. Between having big feet, and my leg hitting the steering wheel when I try to catch the throttle
Oh well I can rev match all day long just as long as I'm not on the brake

I'm 6'5", 220lb, I have the seat all the way back, all the way down, and I have to slouch just a tiny bit. Not so much wear its uncomfortable. If I sit straight up I definitely hit my head on the roof. Its been pretty comfortable so far, but I only have
2k miles on it. Also i have size 13 feet and if I wear my nike Shox my legs bend up more and I have to put the steering wheel all the way up b/c of the thick soles. But if i wear shoes that have a thinner sole such as my diesels that are like track shoes or my martial art shoes, than i can lower the steering wheel a bit and have more leg room.
I dont know how you people wear a helmet that are 6'4" and up. U all must really slouch low.

I have a customer who had the floor board of his Z cut out so his racing bucket can sit even lower... When I sit in the Car (and im 5-11) I cant see over the dash board or door panels...
For him he sits perfectly in there... good height for the track as well...
Ill ask him if I can take some pix and post for him...

Hey Jason, OT but why doesn't performance nissan have the Tilton clutch/flywheel combo on their site anymore? I was searching for it yesterday and had no luck.
I'm 6'7" (almost 6' 8") 310lb and I fit in the Z33's fine, but not the verts due to the top. My G35 coupe has less headroom, but I BARELY fit headroom wise. I have to lean the seat back a little otherwise I hit my head. If I would have bought one without the sunroof it would be better, but due to the roof design, it sucks.
