Default Tall And Broad Shoulders In A 350z

THIS is a thread because i couldnt find any help on this topic...
i am in the process of buying a 350z and its been a struggle to find a dealership who has one during this cold seasons here in canada...i finally located one and sat in it..when the seat is all the way back..reclined all the way..i can fit in..a little snug..but i can easily access the clutch, break and gas...

im 6'5 very broad shoulders, i used to be a Defensive Linebacker in my highschool football team for a short while.

LETS just say if i can fit, you can fit.

Just cycle the A/C along with the heat, and your fogging problem will disappear.

My buddy is 6'8" ~280lbs and he fits in there just about perfect. For all you tall guys, I would definitely recommend adjusting the clutch travel distance, it should help you out with those long legs.

Not as tall as you linebacker, DE types but right there in the weight dept. Former noseguard.
The seat is sure snug thats for sure. Trying to get it just right. Used to a big bench seat with a flip up arm rest console. Seems to be getting more comfortable each time I drive it though.
Maybe I'm stretching it out.

i am so glad i dont have that problem. Im 5'3" and have the seat almost as far up as it can go! My b/f makes fun of me because when he goes form his z to mine he can hardly get in! haha.. but i do hate how im so close to the clutch/brake/gas and it took a while getting use to them right at me because they are much higher then my old car. but good luck with the car. I love the z and went through a long time searching for the right car

You can only have a total of 500lbs of driver/passenger before it becomes dangerous...
