corvette smaller than an Accord?
i'm looking at a 75 coupe tomorrow ( have owned 2 79s before)
My wife asked would it fit in the garage
So as an example I compared it to my daughters Accord 4dr.
Using numbers from Honda's web site and the GM specification book from GM heritage i came up with
Length
Corvette: 185.2"
Accord: 188.8"
Width
Corvette: 69"
Accord: 70.3
height:
Corvette: 47.7"
Accord: 56.9"
SO can you park a vette in the compact car spaces?

Since the corvette has a long low nose and you are worried about tight clearances it's a good idea to hang a tennis ball on a string to touch your windshield when you pull in to prevent going too far and damaging something.

By today's standards, an Accord is not a compact. My wife's CTS-V coupe is slightly longer than my vette by a few inches.
