Ya we it must be the lack of education. I understand it's hard for Amaricans to get past grad school... Sorry you were born to a disadvantage... You can blame your parents for that

Funny stuff. BTW is that the Canadian spelling of the word "American". It must be one of the things you learn in grad school up there, eh?

Probably easier technique:
Feet on ground outside
Sit on seat sideways, legs still outside.
Swing both feet in.

No doing splits this way

I think it has more to do with how much you want to drive it. I know guy that was 6 6' and upper 400's and drive a 80's mustang. My brother is 6'2 and 310lbs he hasn't driven my Z yet but in the passenger seat his knees are a couple inches from the dash. He wears 40/38 jeans in Levi's if this helps. this is with the seat a couple inches from being slid all the way back because I that is were I store my amp for now. I am 5 11" and wear 32-34 in inseam and keep the seat 2 or 3 notches from the back.

The Z with its 38= inches of head room, make it a good choice for taller guys. I'm only 6'3" and it is definitely right leg in, can in seat, bring left leg up and in.

Like the hokey pokey
Head must get inside too. I forgot that part.
