On Wednesday I drove from NYC to R.I. to Boston & back in a day. About 7+ hours, but not all in one stage. I stayed off the highways on the way over, but did turnpike on the way home. For some reason it was "cop day" and I saw 14 cops on the way to Rhode Island. Hard to really let the car out in those conditions, but it was still a fun drive on curvy roads.
At the end of the day, I was pretty tired, but found the touring seat very comfortable. A little less supportive than the seats in my daughter's Audi TT. The Z has a longer wheelbase, which means the ride is actually quite good, even on the cratered highways of New England after this winter. By contrast, the Audi hobby-horses along, and is actually more tiring, IMHO. Of course the Audi is far quieter, but the Z makes good kinds of noises, so no bother. I'd do it again (and will be doing it frequently this summer).
Not a bad trip car at all! BTW, 5'10" 195lbs, touring seats.
