Default Question about the Z

So...I'm in the market for a Z, and was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of how much space there is, not trunk or anything, but for me to fit haha, I am by no means a tiny guy haha, about 6'3 and i'd say 250~ lbs, I currently drive a tiburon GT which I fit into with plenty of room and it looked pretty tiny when I saw it on the lot, any Big Z owners out there?

Heres the best pic I have on my comp, I'd say its equally as low in headroom as the Z, but what do I know haha?

Heh, I love my tib but I do need to stop wasting money on her, Only I/e right now but forum members get excited for breaking 200 with I/H/E + tune.

How would you compare it versus the tib, which one being roomier?


Also since im getting questions answered, what the difference between track enthusiast and grand touring? i did a bit of googling and saw all the hp was the same, so im guessing its like premuim sound and such?

For me they're both prettymuch the same, tib felt roomier with back seats even with passengers complaining about hitting their head on the back window. For me i always make the car comfortable and if someone is complaining about not having enough room they can gtfo.

05 Anniversary and 06 had rev-up, which is almost as the VQ35DE, but higher redline, slightly more hp, less torque, and 07-08 had the VQ35HR, which is probably the best choice.

I'm 6'5'' and I fit in my 350Z but I DON'T fit into that generation Tiburon. You'll fit, into a Z, it has bolsters but I actually like them.

Depending on your build, you may just want to sit in a Z for yourself.

The problem is not the height (I've fit a 6'10" person in the front seat) but if you are comfortable in the seat bolsters.
