I'll give it one more try and see if I can find a better seating position. If not I'll resume my search with the corvette (probably I would purchase a used vette as opposed to a new 370z). |
It ain't just the height guys...it's "where" the height is. Not everyone is built the same; one 6'4" guy might fit and another 6'4" guy may not because legs and torso don't have to be equal for both just because the total height is the same. :)
However, if you think the Z is bad, the G27 coupe has almost 2" LESS headroom than the Z! |

i think you should try and drive that Z again. this time, play with the seat adjustments. if it still doesn't work out for you, i guess it's not meant to be.

Im 6 6 and had to drive bullittes Z to a window shop to have a rear hatch window installed. I never once thought I was too tall. Sitting in the car is one thing, getting out of it is a whole different story though...
Were you sitting on a phone book? Maybe yellow pages? Dex knows... |

Go sit in a Base model with the cloth seats.
My co driver (350Z) did not fit in the touring 350 that he wanted to buy. But my 03 Track worked fine for him. Even room for the helmet. K |

I've had to adjust how I sit in the car...
For example, the steering wheel as my guide, I sit a lot closer to the dash/wheel overall. The angle of my seat is pretty much what I adjust a little here and there, but I keep it to where I am comfortable WITHOUT having my head on the whiplash thing - just in front of it... Then I adjust the passenger seat so that I can see out the side window and the portal...their comfort is insignificant! I also have the mirrors adjusted all the way out on both sides. This combination seems to minimize the blind spots too. It's harder for me to get in/out (6'0", 285lbs), but, I manage better than I thought. Getting in, I tend to hit/rub my head on the liner...still working on that - lol... |
Again Im 6 6. Love the car. But when people see me get out of 2 door coups they then look for the cameras. I look like a clown getting out of cars ha.
