I'm 6'4" and 201. I have a base. I'm good and don't need to put the seatback all the way back.

If touring has a sun roof that will take out an inch of headroom.

Z's have no sunroof unless custom made.

I'm only 6 foot. Any 6 footers or taller guys ever try sitting in one of those Toyota Spyders? OFS they are tiny. Those Audi tt's are tiny as fock too.

6'2" 190 and i had plenty of room.

if you think its cramped in these cars you should drive a viper coupe. you'll have a newfound appreciation for the acreage in your Z.

996's have the best interior i've dealt with to date.

My friend is 6'1" and 287lbs, he hates ridin' in my car... I'm 5'9" 168lbs, car is just right! BTW, anyone with a Handicap plate here? I notice a few, I mean, if you're handicap it will be kind of hard gettin in and out of that car due to the lower stance. Hmmm...
