Any "big" owners?

I'm having fit problems also. 6'3" 260 lbs. My rump rides the sides of the bottom part and my back doesn't fit well either. I may have to resort to a custom fitted seat. Probable will take it to a car shop that does interior work. Have no problems with leg room or arm length.

Yeah, arm length isn't an issue, if anything I can have too much if I lean the seat back.

Seat itself is all the way back...

I'm 6' and I could use more leg room myself. It works but I have to adjust the seat to give me the maximum length for my legs rather than where I'd set the seat by preference... other than length I think the seats are great (leather)

I'm 6'1" 280 lbs and here is my story haha.....

on June 4th of last year I weighed in at a whopping 376 lbs....and could never have dreamed of owning a car like this (hence the big *** Titan). So one day I woke up and decided to stop shoveling food down my pie hole. 10 months later, and 100 lbs lighter....the Z is my present to myself haha. I've always wanted one, never could fit comfortable. Hard work and dedication has payed off. No gimmicks, no slim down quick diets. I'm never going back.

Weight still declining, I'm a happy Z owner =)

And back to the point of the thread, I fit rather comfortably at 280 lbs. Seems almost like 3k miles later...the seat has conformed to me a bit.

Congrats, you probably gained quite a few horsepower in the process as well.

I am 6'2" and I weigh 210, mostly up top in the shoulders and chest, not a ripped middle by any means, but not fat. I fit like a glove in the car, the seat holds me perfectly tight and I don't even have the seat all the way back. My knees ride a little high, but I like to sit a little closer to the steering wheel.

As the saying goes... "fat on you is fat on your car"

Wow...well done Sir!

Myself, I've gained about 10lbs/yr since about 10 years ago. This car is incentive to get me to drop a few lbs.

The less I weigh, the faster it'll go!
