Ramble On Rose

i'm 5 feet short and 115 lbs. i feel like this car was made perfectly for me. That's why i want one. Many cares are actually uncomfortably large for me. I have to sit on a sweatshirt to drive my boyfriend's '87 TA. :rolleyes: I've wondered about how tall people faired with getting in and out. Now I know - where there's a will, there's a way. :D :thumbs:

Gonzo

6 foot 245 lbs, ok I'm kinda a fat butt but I don't play golf so I had to get a C4 :lol: :lol:

Never really had a problem until I autocrossed. Try closing the door with a helmet and 5 pt seatbelt on :mad :mad

Luckly a passerby closed it for me because once I wedged myself in I was not getting out until after the run :lol: :lol:

truly the car was alot more comfortable when I was 225, need to lose about 20lbs :mad

Im only 5'4" & I think the car is a perfect fit for me...I have a friend who is about 6'.......His knees hit the dash (passanger side) when he is sitting in it! :smash: He always says I dont know how tall people fit in these cars! :smash:

CMYC4GO

6' 2 1/2" and 245lbs. here. Fall in, and get comfortable, then when it's time...claw my way out. :lolg:

I'm 5'9" and 235lbs. Getting into the car isn't bad, but getting out is a major chore. Once I'm shoe-horned into the car, there's no chance of adjusting my junk because the bolsters are pressing my legs together with enough force to turn a piece of coal into a diamond within 2 miles. Half the time when I jam the brakes I press the gas too. Now I know what a sardine feels like. Plenty of headroom though. :lol:

I thought he was talking about height when he said small people... I'm with you though.... if your bigger than average, the vette leaves no room for your junk, and in that case i do agree that it was made for small people. Maybe its time for me to get a c5.

War Machine

I'm 6'1" and don't have any proplems getting in/out. It's the seat that I don't like. That thing feels like it was made for the sub 5'9" crowd. :cuss If it was just an inch or 2 taller I'd be fine with it. There is plenty of bottom area.

Fuzzy Dice

I'm 6'..250 and I have no problems...I like the snug fit especially at the drag strip...when I race I do have to assume a "gangsta lean" to fit the helmet in.. :D

carson

5'11" 230 lbs, and I feel comfy in my 90, any bigger would be getting snug. I'd say you are kind of on the scrawny side ;). Airlines figure 160 for an average passenger.

I always thought a post to find out who is the biggest C4 owner is would be interesting.

DonRich90

I'm 6'2", 270 lbs. and 64 years young but I don't have any trouble now that I have a system. Right foot and leg first, slide my butt down into seat and carefully lift left leg over sill. Getting out I put both legs out of car then push up on sill or edge of seatback with left arm. It ain't pretty but it works for me.
Once in, I find the driving position very comfortable.
:seeya

tobijohn

I'm 6'3" and 210 lbs and except for hitting my knee on the lower left hand portion of the dash (96 LT-1) the first couple of times I got in the thing, no problems. In fact, I put about a thousand miles on the car this past week with a couple of four hour stretches and I felt fine...

Cal Vette

With all these 6 footers having no problems, I feel really vertically clumsy! :bb :bb :bb

One of my grandfather's friends had a pinched nerve for something like 15 years and the doctor couldn't figure out why. He finally figured out that it was his wallet being so big.

tEh = "The" spelled wrong
TTT = to the top, a way to get a post to go to the top of the thread list so someone will hopefully respond. Typing TTT doesn't get it to the top, the actual act of posting a response is what gets it there. You type TTT so you don't have to try to come up with some BS response. I just learned what TTT means a couple of weeks ago.

DelcoVette

Lard Azz reporting in..... 6'1" 270 lbs. In and out with no problem. Tilt wheel up on ext & entry.

P.S. I come equiped with my own side bolsters. Front boslter & rear bolster too :) :cheers:

GDP

:rofl: You've got it easy. At 6'2", it's MUCH harder to get in and out of the beast. But once I'm in, it's like a glove. :steering:

wake

Well it's made to be a nice tight, "glove like" fit around you... Even my 5'2" ex-gf had to get out of it with a little effort... It's not like the C5s or any other car to get out of, it actually takes some work... :lol:

I don't mind though, I'm just careful not to scuff up the door panels getting out...

Preacher

:iagree: with my body double... :lolg: :lolg:

Zora

6'3.......240lbs. :D

jr7221

i'm 6'2' and weigh 250 lbs. fold yourself in half insert into seat uncoil and you are there, also it helps adjusting the down so your head doesn't bouce off the roof panel, but once your in who cares, to exit, reverse the procedure above and walk funny for a few seconds and hope no body is watching :cool: :thumbs: :chevy
