I have fiddled around alot with the seat but you know, it's not like I spent more than a few minutes each time I went to the dealer in the past week trying to adjust the two I saw. Maybe there is a combo that I haven't found yet if others my height are not having problems.

Lmao. I talked to a guy in service at the local nissan dealership about what options they could do to give me more leg room and he said it would have to be aftermarket stuff.

When I left I said "I suppose I could get surgery and have me brought down from 6'2"to 6'0"." He got a good laugh and said "You don't want to do that just for a car."

That's what I am wondering. The Z to me has more leg room and head room then my 2002 Altima had (w/ a sunroof)

Seriously . The comparison of headroom between a 370z and a 2011 Si is like comparing a sardine can to an avg size hotel room

but that's the thing, the Z for me has more headroom then a lot of cars (coupes/sedans) because of the lower seat.
