Default Big man in a little car?

Ok well I want a z. I have driven one and I fit. Could be a little bigger but I was courious if bigger guys out there drove z's. I am 6'2" or 3" and 250 pounds I guess I could be classified as a bodybuilder. 36 waist 52+ inch chest. Any bigger guys out ther drive z's every day?

How do you fit compaired to the supra I had a 94 supra also, except mine had a cage which took up a ton of room. Also how do you compair the car to the supra?

6'3 220 and loads of room in the roadster. Only negative is the seat bolsters are not quite wide enough for my upper back and shoulders. (not a bodybuilder, just a weightlifter.)

The supra was actually bigger on the inside, it was much wider plus the leg room was impecable. I like the feel of the Z though, its very nestled and the steering is crisp. The supra was too soft for me, especially because it was auto.

Im 6'3" 230 lbs and I can fit in. My legs are really close to the steering wheel though so it really depends if you have long legs or your tall from the Torso up.

I'm 6'5" 235 with long legs and I don't have a problem, you'll be fine. It is a little hard to get out, but who really wants to get out anyway?

6'6" 250lbs and this is the roomiest sports car, I fit well inside the coupe, hit my head a couple times getting in the car. but I didn't fit in the roadster because the seat can't tilt back as far.

It would actually be harder if you were a really short chick. My seat has to sit all the way forward for me to reach the clutch (I am short with even shorter legs) and the big problem is getting out of the car!

I am 6'6", close to 300lb. I fit great in coupe but roadster was just not comfortable because the seat did not recline much.
