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!

Actually I prefer buying smaller sports cars because I feel I have more control with them. I've owned a mr2, supra, honda del sol supercharged, and they all fit like OJ's glove (perfectly).

6'3" 250# 03' touring 6spd, If I'm barefoot i usually have the seat up a little, but if I'm in boots or dress shoes i have to move it all the way back. Seats are really comfortable IMO, and with the cruise control on you can stretch out pretty good on long highway trips.

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...

Please do, I was looking into getting some seats soon.

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.

6'7 and you can fit? wow... I'm 6'4 and its tight... I even tried the G35 Coupe and my head would touch unless I drove with a 45 degree recline in the seat... Slap a mustache on me with big sunglasses, flannel shirt and bandanna on my head and call me cheech

6'2'' at 189 and I fit in just fine. I even push the seat up because all the way back I get too much leg room, in my opinion.
