Default Interior Space

All, I have heard loads about Z vs. other sports cars with 4 seats and how much more you can put in those non-Z cars. I just went to staples and bought a desk and large executive chair and closed the hatch. Sales guy could not believe it as he has not been able to fit so much into a Mustang. Heck, I had room for a computer and flat panel monitor as well if you want to know the truth. I have attached.

Anyone have any other ideas on how to cram more stuff in a Z?

Not a fair comparison. Those little buggers are flexible!

I could fit more stuff in my MINI I brought home a 47"tv in the back of the mini. The interior space of the Z is my least favorite aspect but hey the drive is a blast

We fit a Hoover SteamVac, misc supplies, and a Swiffer WetJet in the Z yesterday. It does pretty well.

I get a weeks worth of groceries inside every time. That is my prerequisite. Tables and chairs stun me.

Creative; both the lines in your photo and the seat removal

Trying to see how much I can cram into the little stinker without scratching or hurting him. On a side note, blades are soooooo old school..... Gotta bet you are in your 40's....

My issue I find is that there is a fair amount of space, but it is really hard to utilise it all if the stuff being fit is not flexible or is large. It can fit a fair amount of soft stuff though as I got all my clothes and bedding into the hatch when moving back into my dorm this semester. But the passenger cabin itself is actually nicely sized for two good sized people, the only thing I wish is for more leg room since anyone over 6ft is going to start running out of leg room quickly.
