On that note I'm 6'3 and about 215 pounds. I have never had any problems
in either getting in and out of my Z. As far as issues... There are many others..
But at least I'm in therapy for...for.... now....

The gigantic mirror blind spot is real.
I'm sure it is, but it seems to be driver-dependent.

Pity from some. Envy from others.

I'm in the 2nd group.

I like the car and it does look hotttt

Glad He is happy with the 370Z but I will be buying a 2015 Challenger Shaker where I am able to get in and out of lol.............JT
A lot of people will tell you that they are bigger, fatter, more powerful than you and yet have no problems getting in and out of their 370Zs. Ignore these people, for they are not you. Only you know what you feel upon ingress and egress from your brother's 370Z. Our bodies are all different, and there is no way to know how different until we all oil up and roll around in a big pit with one another. Who's with me?

The Z is a 2 seat ground up sports car. That's a lot different than a larger 4 seat muscle car. I drove lots of sport/muscle cars before choosing the Z. Any low car is difficult to get out of. Head & shoulder room once you get in is another story. I'm 6'2" and 200 lbs. I have the seat as low as it will go in the Z and I've got a couple inches of headroom. I'll stick with the Z. Good on you to choose the car that best fits your needs! Good luck!!

You should get a roadster... and goggles... yes I see goggles on you.

That would be like Lurch down the highway. You could put a wing on your head for a little extra down force.
