I only used to be fat. 
h:
Even before I lost weight I fit in my Miata fine. I wouldn't have kept it for 4 years otherwise.
I fit fine in the 986 and 987 Boxster, 996 and 997 911, 135i, Z4, RX-8, NC and NB Miata, FD RX-7, S2000 and C6 Corvette.
The cloth seats in one Genesis Coupe were fine, but the leather seat in the one I drove had a weird lump right above the movable lumbar support that hit my back the wrong way and no amount of adjusting the seat could fix it.
There's nothing really wrong with the clutch, just the pedal is closer to the brake than on any other car I've driven. Every time I get in a 350Z or 370Z, I step on the clutch to start it and end up catching my foot on the brake pedal or the dash shroud. Once I remember to go for the left side of the pedal it's no big deal. It's just weird since that never happens to me in any other car.
Being as I'm not a race car driver I don't worry so much about performance numbers and pay more attention to how the car feels. I mean, I don't want something slow, but any car that pulls high 13s or low 14s is going to be faster than 95% of everything else on the road.

Mike, it's interesting that you feel that way about the 370z Clutch. I've test drove both and I do like the 370z overall. It's an awesome track car with very forgiving driving and good clutch.
Might not be "raw" as the S2K but it definitely outperforms it.
And about the Engine Sound, I think it sounds great with a pair of Injen CAI

Go test drive the 2011 mustang GT. I know there alot of people who will shoot it down with out trying it but I have test driven the car on two different occasions, and it a very nice car. The power is nice through out the power band, ford has come a long way with the interior which is really pretty nice, and the car actually handles pretty well for what I could do with it.
