I'm 6'4" 190lbs - HOW THE HECK CAN I FIT IN THIS?
 
Sad news to me; test drove an '05 with 20 miles touring and felt like I was stuffed in a box:( I got the seat all the way down and messed with many configs. but still couldn't find the sweet spot ..... my left hand kept being stopped by my leg on all the left hand turns ... oh hell I was miserable ..... is it something some just "deal" with? Maybe I've been spoiled driving the Titan? BTW owned a TT300ZX for 4 years and that thing was like a recliner .i.e. roomy and comfortable for me.....

oh well; here we go! - FLAME ON!!!

yeah, you're a freak of nature

TheOtherRob Sep 5, 2008 08:07 AM

Well Im not sure about you. But Im 6"4 and weigh 192 pounds and I fit like a glove in my 08. I dont fell cramped at all, its alot more comfortable than my srt4.

GodSpeed Sep 5, 2008 08:10 AM

Im 6'4" 210lbs and I fit just fine. do you have an irregular body shape? I know a guy whos 6'6" that drives a Z. Its actually alot more roomy than alot of sports cars Ive driven ( ever sit in an s2k? its like a tuna can). I dont know what to tell you, Ive known lots of tall guys who fit just fine in the Z.

Jarred@Z1 Sep 5, 2008 08:12 AM

yeah you just need to play with the seating position more im 6'4 180lbs and i fit comfertably

The Brickyard Rat Sep 5, 2008 08:25 AM

Lots of people your height/weight drive Zs; it is an individual thing. I'm 6'2' & 210 and fit fine. Another couple inches, though, and I might not feel the same.

sir captian Sep 5, 2008 08:29 AM

I'm 6'3 1/2 230 and with the seat all the way back I have a ton of room.Maydbe you have freakishly long legs.

WTX350Z Sep 5, 2008 08:35 AM

Damn tall people, can't trust em.:D

I'm 5'9" and yeah...tons of room. I can do backflips in the Z.

sounds like you need a Miata!

I think its about perception. I bet if you crawled into your old Z now, after living in a Titan you'd feel a bit cramped.

Ed 718 Sep 5, 2008 08:39 AM

Keep in mind AJ Panchal was not a tall person to begin with.

MarvinMartian Sep 5, 2008 08:48 AM

I'm 6'4" and . . . . well, a bit more than many others in this thread.

I fit fine. I drive a standard, and I have no problems operating the clutch or steering.




:dunno:

OP, Short torso and looooooong legs?

Solution: have your femurs shortened.

Entaille Sep 5, 2008 08:52 AM

I am 5'7 and I can barely reach the pedals. ha ha ha .. just kidding. it really is more ideal for the shorter people.

EZ E Sep 5, 2008 08:54 AM

this car is very roomy inside... heck it is a porker in itself! i find it hard to imagine you are as crammed as you say. my guess is that possibly you are a tad heavier then the weight you divulged? :p

Chaser720 Sep 5, 2008 09:03 AM

i vote that you are broke. I fit fine at 6'3 195 but friend of mine (shorter) who we have ruled has an odly shaped torso barely does (he just rocks the gangsta lean).

Sensi09 Sep 5, 2008 09:05 AM

I'm 6'3, 220 and find it quite comfortable. From other threads, many people of similar height fit just fine.

People have different body types of course and if you're all legs, then you could have a problem. For me though, I don't even put my seat all the way back.

vnarang Sep 5, 2008 09:10 AM

I'm 7'6". I don't know how you can't fit. :S


I kid.

Dr. Venture Sep 5, 2008 09:31 AM

yao ming drives a z!!

350zanti-drug Sep 5, 2008 09:45 AM

obviously you were not meant to drive a z
