Cool Interior Room (VandyZ?)

Hey a question for those out there that are, how do you say, big boned? Okay, enough with the political correctness, question for those big boys out there (yours truly included) that are big in the middle.

I'm 6'2" 255lbs and getting a track anyday now. I've seen the Z first hand at South Point Nissan in Austin but didn't sit in the car. I see the pics of VandyZ on the front page and he seems to be a pretty big boy -- all respect intended.

Read a lot about comfort opinions for the really tall drivers, 6'3"+, but not a lot about those of that qualify for the big-n-tall clothes.

It will feel like the car was made for YOU!
I'm one inch shorter and 30lbs heavier. It felt great to me.

6'3" and 270. Girth was not really a problem, the only exception is the Z was very slightly cramped in shoulder room. I found that if I had my left arm off the steering wheel, I needed to rest it slightly further forward than I wanted to because of a slight lack of shoulder room. This was not a big deal, however, because I only had to move my arm slightly forward, and I should have my left arm on the wheel at all times anyway and the car was plenty big then.

I'm 6'2", 245lbs. Not a problem. Actually MORE headroom than in my Pathfinder thanks to the way the Z's roof is shaped.

Widthwise, the seat is excellent. I heard stories that there was plenty of room but until I sat in one, I was still a bit worried. Trust me, its very roomy.

The distance between the pedals and the steering wheel is excellent as well. You're legs won't be in some funky position while driving.
