I'm between 5'8 and 5'9 and have no problems... Although I think if I was slightly taller (torso) it would be ideal so that I can see over the hood a bit better... I think my ex girlfriend was like 5'2 or 5'1 and it didnt work. If I remember right she could not depress the clutch all the way down unless seat was all the way forward... and she stretched. I did not let her leave the parking lot because I felt it was dangerous for her to turn the steering wheel (arms looked all jammed up that close) when the seat all way forward. I think not only height matters but also length of legs and arms... I feel that the ideal height for a Z driver would probably be 5'10 - 5'11... max would probably be 6'2... min would probably be 5'4... That seems like a narrow range of people. Probably the main reason you don't see many girls drive 300zx's.
