Default Tallest corvette owner

Im 6'7" and been driving corvettes since 1967. Any other tall drivers around? (I have more legroom in my new GS than a Lexus LS 460)

Nope, just 6'1" but a 6'9" buddy was shocked that he fit in my Z06.

Only 6'4 here, no problem with leg/headroom but seeing some stoplights when I'm first in line is a pain at times. Price you pay for a low roofline I guess..

I'm short compared to some here, at 6'3" and I've fit comfortably in every Vette I've ever sat in.

The only car I've ever found truly felt, umm, uncomfortable in so far was a Ferrari Enzo.

6' 6 " ... a good bump will bounce me into roof / targa top frame . It maybe an upper torso height issue no total height . I'm good 90% of the time . I can't wear work shoes , they need to be shorter / narrow type , tennis shoes .
