Biggs85 · 03-30-2010, 08:12 PM

Hi,i dont own a z..yet..But before i buy one and i need to sell my bike first also but i want to know if there are any taller z owners out there.im a solid 6'4'' in height and i have sat in a 370 but yet to drive one.it did seem a lil cramped but i think i cld suffer since its so sweet.lol.just curious before i really start considering a z if there are indeed some taller dudes out there driving em and how its treatin em.thanks guys and i hope ill start talking to you more often.

Unfortunately yes. Well, maybe if you take a saws all to the drivers seat, cut it across about midway down, and use the stabilizer bar as a head rest, then you may just fit

theDreamer · 03-30-2010, 08:15 PM

6'4" here with no issues.

Biggs85 · 03-30-2010, 08:17 PM

really??do you have fairly long legs like me?? i sat in one and my knees were just a lil up toward the steering wheel.but thats how it is in my jetta too.i think at our height thats almost an issue in alot of cars.

Step 1: Go to dealership
Step 2: Ask Salesman to direct you to a 370Z
Step 3: Ask Salesman if you can sit in it.
Step 4: Fart

I dont know about the farting but otherwise fullmonty has the right solution.

I mean will you have purchased the car if the forum said yes you'd fit without trying it anyway?

Vice versa if the forum said you wouldn't fit would you not have tried anyway?

Would you not get a conclusive answer if you just tried sitting in one?

Biggs85 · 03-30-2010, 08:30 PM

oh no regardless im gonna sit in one,which i have.just havent driven one yet to fully see how itll be.i was just trying to go a half step further before i obsess(lol) anymore over getting it and its too uncomfortable.its reassuring to hear a people as tall as me with no issues tho

vipor · 03-30-2010, 08:32 PM

You'll fit and adjust accordingly. I'm not quite as tall as you, but I do feel like I'm curling my back a little sometimes. Mostly it's because I don't like my spikey hair to rub lol.

ok got ya...

i'm sure you can fit unless you're 6f4 but with unusually short legs and long torso, i have a malyasian mate who is 6'4 with these weird proportions and yes he doesn't fit well...

theDreamer · 03-30-2010, 08:33 PM

I spent 5-10 minutes the second time I went to a dealership just adjusting the seat position. I will look when I sit in my car tomorrow and see where my knees hit, I can tell you I am not 100% straight back against the seat. My lower half sticks out a little to give me a little more head room; I think if I sit straight up my hair just barely touches and annoys me.

IMO you want more leg height in this car.

at 6'4 trying to wear a helmet may be interesting hahah
