Tall people with Z's.....
I'm 6' 3" and about 215 lbs. I fit just fine in the Z. My only complaint is my torso is a little bit longer than most peoples and the review mirror is too low. When i adjust it right, I'm looking back at the ground right behind the car almost. I dont see any horrizon at all. I've gotten used to this for the most part, but I would really like a new seat or something that could lower my seat hight. If I angle the seat back up a little bit, to get the proper distance for my arms, my head is right up to the roof and there is no way I can even bend my neck down to look out the rear view mirror. It seems that all the after market seats out there don't lower the seat hight at all. If anything, it seems like most of them raise it!
No matter what tho, I'll keep driving my baby. I just pushed 44k miles not to long ago, so as you can see, I don't let my rear view mirror issues get to me. Go sit in one, it might feel a little cramped (it did for me as I used to drive a Dodge Dakota), but you'll begin to love it as soon as you drive it.

Man, you guys make me feel like a freakin midget. I wish I fit better in my Z. I'm only 5'7" and 175lbs. I think its the whole "bath tub" feeling. I wish it was more comfortable to stick my elbow out the window when I have it rolled down and cruising.

A friend of mine who is 6'7'' 315 rode in my passenger side once. He fit pretty decently, but I'm sure he wasn't extremely comfortable. Nothing unbearable though, I'm sure you'll be fine unless you're a giant.
i'm at 6'4 230lbs and i fit, but my legs are long enough that i have to have the seat back all the way. As most of you tall guys in the 350 will know that with the seat all the way back the seat will rub against where the subwoofer should be. This wasn't too big of a deal with me until i got leather put in; the rubbin starts sqeaking. Since then, I find myself inclining the seat about two clicks to solve this problem, but this causing a little loss in visibility because my line of sight it blocked a bit by the sun visor.
Point being, the Z is fairly spaceous but it isn't for the truly oversized guys. I can fit but another inch might cause some problems.

6'7" 250lbs here......plenty of legroom but I need more headroom. In order to drive my Z I have to ghetto lean to the side a bit but I'm used to it. Would love to find a customizer who would be able to lower my seat about 2-3 inches but have called every single one in the state with no luck yet.

I agree, I just bought an 06 and came to the conclusion that nissan set the limit to 6 and a half feet tall.
I'm 6'-6" and I just barely fit...my hair hits the ceiling sometimes and if I try and strech backward, I'll hit my head.
it's worth it though...If I were taller or the cocpit was smaller, I'd cry
