Hi,
I'm 6'3" and I fit just fine in a 370Z.

I'm 6'0" and 220 lbs. and have no issues whatsoever with fit. I also have long legs with a 34" inseam and legroom has never been an issue. The real issue is the rear window (more of a gun slit really). When looking out the rearview mirror you tend to get a view of just below the horizon line. I don't know if that makes any sense but for a taller person such as myself, what it equates to is lowering my eyeline in order to see behind me as opposed to just seeing more of the ground. I guess I will try to take a series of pictures demonstrating this to give you a better idea of what I am talking about. In any case, it's not a big deal. Moving the rearview mirror a bit lower for a taller person would alleviate this issue but it's not really a realistic option. Anyway, the cabin room will be just fine for you. Oh and don't worry about the oil temp issues. If you plan to track your car, simply add an oil cooler.

thanks killerbee370 for the reply.. maybe, you post pix of yourself inside the 370 so we can see the headroom, legroom and other things for visual purposes.. i dont have plan of getting it to track.. day driving maybe or visiting friends from LA to San Diego, SF and Vegas. Is it also comfortable for long-distance driving?

I will work on getting some pics up for you this weekend. I have taken it on a couple of longer trips and had no problems with ride comfort. LA to SF is a pretty long one... you may want to stretch the legs a couple times on that trip. Suspension wise, it's not harsh at all given it's great handling characteristics.

I'm 6'4, about 190, plenty of room. Only about an inch over the head so if you're into mohawks forget it. As far as long drives, I only picked my Nismo up last night but don't get that for long rides, its a blast for short stints but bumpy as a skateboard on the Freeway. I'm sure the 370Z's without the Nismo package ride much smoother if you need comfort.
