How tall are you? And how is the comfort level in the Z for us taller guys
 
I orderd my Z and it should arrive within 3 months (2010 model)

My question is im 6'1 and, i test drove the car befor i purchased and im comming from a 2004 G35 coupe. The drive feels aloooot different which is fine and expected. And in terms of room it doesnt neccessarily feel like theres less (leg and headroom) but i feel more closterfobic. Which i know its just a matter of getting used to being a 2 seater car.

How tall are you? and how comfortable do you feel in the 370?

Thanks,

I'm a bit of a big guy (unfortunately I don't really mean height as I'm only 5'9") but I can tell you the Z is not the most comfortable car in the world. For me it's because there just isn't that many places to put your legs!

That said, I've done a few single driving days of 700+ miles and survived just fine!

6'6" here and I just barely fit. I have the seat all the way back and down and I have about an inch of head room when I lean all the way back. That being said it works just fine for me.

6ft and no issues. If anything I think someone MUCH taller would fit rather comfortably in this car. If anything I feel it also eliminates some of the side mirror blind spot issues I've heard people complain about.

6'4" 230. No probs here. Better than an s2000.

5' 11" 170 lbs - fits like a glove.

elmz 11-19-2009 05:02 PM

5'7 135 lbs no issues here.

6ft, 175, I love how it feels. You almost become a part of the car, thats what I love about it, it holds you.

This is shocking info. i didnt really expect anyone over 6'3 to fit in this car? im in Canada are you guys going by 6 feet and w/e inches? Is it the same for measurements lol

GTRFAN 11-19-2009 05:11 PM

6'2 or 188cm - No problems at all. I just have the seat about three quarters back and the base of the seat angled really low at the back and a little higher under the knees. Headroom has never been an issue, although if these had sunroofs that would change things.

It does feel claustrophobic at first, but after a week you don't think twice about it.

vipor 11-19-2009 05:14 PM

6'2 and it's fine. the seat is all the way back then locked in. if the hair is long and extra spikey that day then i might rub a lil, but no big deal.

my gf's g35 coupe is worse. i've got the seat all the way down (front part up a lil to compensate) and i'll rub a lil regardless. opening the moonroof cover helps lol.

i remember sitting in a 350z when they first came out and there wasn't as much head room as there is in the 370.

I am only 5'6 but am built like a Panzer tank or Mike Tyson.. The Z really has a fighter cockpit type feel. Snug but satisfying....

6'2" and I'm actually glad I'm this height - it feels like you need to be a bit tall to look over the mirrors.

I have the seat all the way down because I like being low, and I have enough headroom to wear a helmet. I do wish the wheel telescoped out a bit further; sitting with my hands in proper track position makes my legs a bit tight. That said, it's way better for me than the Cayman, in which my knees were jammed against the dash...
