id imagine your height would have a lot to do with that. how tall are you?
I'm 5' 12"
5 10. But Iā€™m. MOre worried about how low the seat height is getting and out. The vette sucked and the Supra wasnā€™t mush better. I wonder if Z seat height from ground is slightly higher than Supra. I would be coming from a sedan. I know. I k ow.

Based on all the recent press and Reviewers jumping in an out of them, the Z appears to be much friendlier for us seasoned folks.

Sure hope. Donā€™t want to crawl out like the Supra. If itā€™s seat height is just a little higher. Then,
perfecto

All proper sports cars are low to the ground, so have low seats. For higher, you'd probably be better off looking at a muscle car like the Mustang or a tweaked standard car like the Corolla. Sports seats themselves with the extra bolstering can also cause issues for entering and exit any car.

But as always: go and actually see one, as well as test drive it, when you can.

The other option is to raise the height, like a Monster Tuck ... ;)

If you were OK in a 370, You'll be OK in the new Z.

I've had seat time in many 'vettes and Supras, the 370 is the easiest to live with by far.

The Z is 51.8 inches tall, with 4.8 inches of ground clearance. The Supra comes in at 51 inches, and 4.5 inches respectively.

Yeah the 370 is not hard to get in and out of at all and imagine the new Z will be the same. 5ā€™11 and I havenā€™t hit my head getting in and out of the Supraā€¦ although one time I had to get in and couldnā€™t open the door all the way, and I stabbed the underside of my jaw with the frameless window. Effing LA parking lotsā€¦
