Well, it's because the gauges tilt with the wheel that helps big time. And to the guy above who posted that guy's height. HOLY ****! 7'10"! Are you ******* kidding me! I feel sorry for that poor bastard!

im 6'3 and 180 i have enough room in the head and my legs are fine but the only problem i have is since i have big feet (size 14) my left foot gets stuck against the plastic below the steeringwheel and the clutch peddle about half engaged, thats a little tricky so i just have to adjust my angle of approach to the clucth.

6'5" here - plenty of room in the Z - though I think I actually had more leg room back in the day w/ the 944 - that had wicked leg room. Also, the vert roof is lower inside - if you are tall I would stick w/ the coupe; it's the worst staring at the windshield frame in a vert with the top down

I was planning on the Coupe with the tiptronic, not enough clutch pushing room for me.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

I am 6' 9" 250 ish. I gotta tell you it's close. Can't move the seat back to far front or back. Gotta kinda keep it in the bulge area of the roof. I probably couldn't wear a helmet.

I gotta tell you I simply can't believe the 7'10" thing unless all his extra height is in his legs or he changed the seat.

i am thinking the 7'10 comment is a joke or a typo ... the other day i was chill'n with my buddy Shaq and he is 7'2 and he couldn't fit in the Z and i told him to GTFO my car because he was going to get stuck and then the heat would blame me for his fcked up knees.. so i told him let his wife sit in it.. cuz she is super hot.. and i could rub her leg when he wasn't looking..

so yeah.. i don't think the 7'10 comment is accurate... the only way a 7'10 person can fit in a Z is if he does yoga and can suck his own d!ck

Underpressure isn't 7'10", I was joking. He's damn tall though.

For the tall drivers (i am 6'6") How is the view out the windshield? Does anything get blocked? Or is the view pretty good?

I'm 6'4" and I don't have any viewing obstructions. The car fits like a glove, too. I was surprised the first time I drove one how much room there is for a 2-seater sports car.

5'11" here, and it's funny you'd mention that. This morning I slept in the Z during one of my classes because I didn't write a speech, and I was tired. I reclined the seat and stretched my legs out, and yeah, there was room. Comfortable enough to fall asleep, though? I'd have to say no. Not with our recaro style seats.

. . . Not like I'm tall or anything, but I am bored!

I own a landscaping company, and I hate to tell ya, you're not going to get scary skinny by just doing landscaping. Gotta hit the gym too. Or just never eat all day why you are working, but I don't recommend that.
