Am I to big to comfortably fit?

And for all those asking how I can afford it, lets just say I came out on top after a court settlement.
No, your not big by any means. My friend is 6'6" and Id guess around 250lbs (looks pretty solid) and he fits fine in the Z. Plenty of leg room and head room. Heres an idea though, instead of asking strangers, why dont you go to a dealership and sit in one?

N as for the court settlement, big ole Company truck slammed into me and my madra when i was 14, she had surgery n it ****ed up my right shoulder, N lets just say I was a top notch pitcher with a bright future and now I cant play baseball.

Just what we need, another slow palsy shifter in the Z community...

Forget the 350z.... go for either g37 or wait for the arrival of the Skyline. Might have to get a beater first and wait for the Skyline.

Depending on how long your torso is you might have rear-view mirror issues, but other than that you'll fit just fine. I'm only 6' and rear-view is kind iffy, but i've got a freak size torso.

Buddy, I'm 6'8", you'll be fine. But I don't recommend the Z as a first car.

I'm 8'4" 712 lbs and I'm fine in my PPW 06 Roadster. It does suck having to wear goggles and replace the frieght train springs on my driver's side all the time. Bugs are kind of annoying as well.

A bit of advice: If you are 17, and you just recieved a large ammount of money, the best thing you can do is to save it, and not blow it on an expensive sports car. I know this may sound lame and boring, but trust me on this one. The last thing you want to do at your age is be dumping large sums of money into a deprciating asset like a car. You are much better off by putting that money in a free "high yeild" savings account (5.0% APY), and earning a bunch of interest. That way, later on you will be able to use that money to invest in some form of financial portfolio (stocks, bonds, CD's) and earn even more money.

If you are young and happen upon a lot of money, save it. The rewards you will reap later on will be far more valuable than a simple sports car today. The 20K you save today could mature into 40K in 5-6 years with sound financial investing. I myself am 25, and I am VERY glad I saved and invested my money since I was a teenager.

Then again, chicks dont tend to dig bank account statements as much as 350Z's...
