Took a trip to panama city, fla in my C6.
2 good size suitcases,2 overnightbags, 1 set golf clubs, 1 small(6 drink)
cooler,1 garnment bag,and a small bag of books for the wife.

No problem, and could have probably had room for a bag of chips,but we don,t allow eating in the vette.

You can fit a bunch in a Vette. I really havent gone on too many road trips with my C6, but I did with my C5 Z, which I think has less cargo space, and I could not believe how much stuff I got in it. You will be surprised.

I packed a 17" CRT monitor, mid-size tower, keyboard, mouse, inkjet printer, Ryobi 12" power mitre saw and two fold up plastic sawhorses with a little bit of room left over.

Don't forget that you also have the "space" provided by the rear glass although you may have to remove the sunshade if the stack gets too high.

The coupe can hold a fair amount of cargo for a road trip. Soft luggage is better / easier to pack than hard luggage. I don't have any pictures of my C6 packed but here is a shot from several years ago with my C5. The C5 coupe was a little larger with 24.8 cu. ft.

Why not just take your luggage out to your car before packing it, and find out how it fits? I guarantee that will work 10,000x better than trying to figure out what will fit by looking at pictures on the internet.

You should be able to pack anything you need in 22 cu. ft. I have about half that amount in the convertible and manage to pack most everything for a nice trip in it.

One of three possibilities:

1) He was dying to make a post here, but couldn't think of anything better.

2) No, he's not putting us on... he'd rather plan his packing by looking at pictures on the internet than taking his luggage out to the car to find out if it will fit.

("No, honey, I didn't ship the luggage, I looked at the photos online, and it looked to me like your grandfather clock would fit.")

3) He intends to look at the pictures and buy the identical luggage as the people who posted them.

Interesting! DW (Darling Wife) and I are going on a golf outing starting Mar 15th. We want to take the C6 and are gonna TRY to fit 2 cart bags, 2 shoe bags, 2 ball/gadget bags, and enough soft duffels and garment bags to last us for 7 days. If it doesn't fit we move it to her SUV and then just pile in any old thing we want! I'm not taking my 300C again!
