Why I did not buy a Z this weekend...

I'm 6'4" and I can fit in with a helmet on.
Out of curiosity are you sitting in a base or a touring?

What helmet are you using?

This one, It's a G-force Pro Eliminator something or other. It's SA2005 rated. I've also got a tinted visor for it so I don't have to deal with sunglasses in the helmet which gets old.

haha, I feel like I have more room in my 03' VW Golf then in my 08 F250 superduty (work truck).

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 was thinking about this too but I guess these guys can't think out of the box. lmfao!

Having just sold an '08 vette, I'll tell you the Z's seats are FAR superior, both from a construction and comfort/sportiness factor. When you lower the Vette seats you'll literally feel like you're sitting on the adjuster motor the padding is so sparse. The one universal complaint about the Vette is the seats...
(It's also quite a different car)...

I know this will sound crazy, but I felt like I had less space in the touring than in the base. Maybe it was just because I could not find the exact perfect position in the touring but the base I found my perfect spot.
