All of you tall people out there
Hey,
For all of you people over 6', i am 6'3", how do you fit with the non-powered seats? I know you can't adjust the height with anything but the touring's seats. Can you see out of the windshield alrgiht? Does your head come close to hitting any pillars?

I am 6'2" and have no problems at all. I have tons of leg room, more then any other car. I chose the 350Z because of that major issue, with the S2000 there's no room at all in that thing.
BTW: I have the Enthusiast model with the cloth seats and i enjoy the ride very much!

6'6" here with no problems (even with a helmet).
But the heavier you are, the higher you are sitting (particularly with the seat bolsters). I fit comfortably at 6'6" and 190lbs but I think it would be tough if I was 6'6" and 260lbs.

6'6 here - no problems. It was one of the sports cars that I was absolutely sure I wouldnt fit in by the looks of it. My wife pushed me to try it, and, well its sitting in my garage right now with about 7 coats of wax on it!!!. (Its winter)

I'm 6'3", and fit fine, but can't wear a helmet. How does a 6'6" guy get in there with a helmet? You must be all legs.
I need to get a custom mount for a racing seat (to lower it) so I can drive with a helmet and get to the track (someday when I've got some extra cash).

6'2", I fit fine for the stock seats, but I installed the kirk racing roll bar for Solo I and I need a new non-adjustable seat to drop me down an inch or two. When I put on my helmet and harness, the top of my helmet is under the top of the roll bar by 1/2 inch. I have to raise the bar 1 inch and get a new seat to drop my butt. Other than that, Z has lots of room...

The taller you are the better in these cars. That way you see more out the front (your bumper). I think you will fit easier in the touring seats though, b/c you can lower the seat like you mentioned.

Has anybody sat in the Sparco EVO2 seats? They say that they are built for heavier individuals. The only thing I don't like about the stock seats is that I don't fit between the seat bottom bolsters. My thighs are up on them which gets uncomfortable over time. I fit fine between the seatback bolsters.

Nissan seems to understand Americans are tall.......which is more than I can say for Ford (e.g the new height challanged T-Bird).
