Default Silly question... Please read ;-)

Hello everybody,

I was wondering what is the size of the driver of a 350Z.....

As a coupe, the height of the car is limited, and as I'm a tall guy, I'm not sure if I my head will not touch the roof of the car.

I know that it's a silly question, but If it's the case, I can't buy this car..... DAMN I like it so much....

Thanks for your reply

Thanks for your quick reply.

Do you know how to convert these size in meter?
It will help me a lot.
Thanks.

This has been discussed on here before. I remember people who were 6'4" saying they had no problems in the coupe. I don't recall if anyone taller has commented. I'm 6'2"/200 and I fit with plenty of room to spare.

I would suggest the simpliest course: go test drive both a coupe and a roadster at your nearest dealership.

There's nothing like first-hand experience.

6'2" roughly works out to be 1.88 meters. (1 in = 2.54 cm)

Also keep in mind that the roadster adds an inch (if you're at all interested in the roadster).

It took you a day to buy the car? You mean you needed to think about it??

Thanks.

Hey Cybertotos, you and I are almost exactly the same height. I'm pretty long through the upperbody, but I still have about 1" of headroom. My legs sit against the door/console kneepad, but that's true of every car I drive, so it wasn't a deterring factor for me. The Z is much like the Porsche 911, they're pretty tall from the seat to the ceiling, so you should be just fine.

It's great, I'm 5'3", 396 lbs. and the Z has a great "pop-out" holder for my right "man-boob"!!!

You know, I'd think livin in NM, you would have sweat off the man-boob by now...But hey, at least you came with your own side impact protection.
