Hello everybody,I am the new guy.I listed my first corvette for sale.I like but it's too small.Are all the same or maybe a little more head room.I am 6'1" and my head hits the top.By the way it is a 1985 and fun to drive with the top off[I feel like big bird].I would like anybody's input if a different year is a little bigger or lower seat.
Thanks alot
Also I have been reading this site,and has been a big help in repairs and maintainence.I thought I could pass along a couple things.One after buying a corvette I found the top was reglued to the frame and almost came off on the highway.I found a product called Devcon-290 black.They have a good tech system online and give directions to use.I used it and you cannot push the top off the frame.
Thanks looking forward to hearing more.

I like your attitude but I am not used to it.I found by moving thr seat forward then tilting it back and then putting it down a little better.But I wonder if different years have more leg room or if one without a power seat is lower.I drive a pickup all day and bumping my head getting in and out I can deal with,but long rides are tough.
Thanks

Buy a convertible. I think there is more headroom. Never noticed though. One more advantage of being short!
