Nissan 370Z Forum  

2013 370Z Changes.

If I had a penny for every time this question was asked, I'd have at least 5c right now.

No kidding. I enjoy my z so much more now that I have put recaros on custom mounts and have a smaller steering wheel. My head doesn't hit headliner anymore and my hands don't hit my legs when I turn! Nissan really fails us bigger drivers but not as much as Mazda or Honda do in their sports cars.

Seriously -- I was goofing off at a Subaru/Mazda dealer a few weeks back and cannot even get into a Miata.

Guess it depends on your build. No problem in an s2k with a helmet, can't fit in a z without dropping the seat ~2inches

Then you're not double-clutching fast enough and it's pooling.

Personally, I like that the 370Z is nice and fitted. I'm 5'10.5" in sockfeet and 190# (cutting to 180-185). It should fit like a glove.

It must suck being tall.

yeah, it's really something you don't realize until you start trying to rock a helmet in different cars. I really don't mind having very little headroom, but having your head up against the liner sucks.

I can imagine, and yeah, it's amazing how big that helmet is in a car.
