Hi Guys,

There aren't a tone of threads on the interior dimensions of the C7, but it is a pretty big factor for me.

I'm curious if anyone has sat in the C7. I watched the video from the bash on the interior and they said the C7 has the same legroom as the C6. Is this really the case? How about the other dimensions?

The C6 was a tight fit for me. I'm 6'7". The C5 felt roomier than the C6 so I hope this isn't a trend for Corvette to shrink the size of the interiors.

Would the choice in the seats make a difference?

Thanks guys!

Somewhere earlier on I remember a statement that while the car was not as tall on the outside the headroom was more. Talon90 can easily answer this for sure I believe.

For me, the C6 has noticably more head room but significantly less leg room.
A member of our club has a C5 and it's comfortable for him, he's quite cramped in my C6.

So the C7 is 2 1/2" longer but has slightly less legroom than the C6, which had less legroom than the C5?

Tri-Tip

Damn, 1.3" wider, going to be even tougher to get it into my garage. Maybe the mirrors are smaller?

So this is why I asked the question. Specs given from the auto manufacturer don't mean to much from experience. They get you in the ball park, but they generally are off. I just purchased a truck that has 4 inches extra of legroom than my previous car, yet the truck legroom in reality is less.

That's why Im' wondering if someone has actually sat in the car and what their opinion is of the room.

The specs are good though. Thanks!

Wonder how much of the 2 1/2" those "fang" things are? If this happens 9 more time to the interior the legroom will be a full inch shorter than the C6.

Also 6'7". Tight but workable in C6 Z06, more comfortable in C6 A6 Vert. Clutch pedal made it tougher to fit in Z06. So if legroom is basically the same as C6 shouldn't be too bad with the auto.
