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.

This is why after I found my perfect seating position, I disconnected the wires under the seat that adjust the position.

That is why this year I am prepping for some Bride Stradia without sliding rails.

+1...... Just turn the knobs so that the seat is slammed all the way down.
The OP needs to go & really spend some time with the effen seat. I am reading that people are 6'0'' to 6'5'' weighting 190-260lbs & now of them are having any issues. When you are sitting in the Z it is a sports car & is not going to feel like you are in some luxury sedan. Maybe you should go with the Hyundai Genesis.
