Not sure about the 6'7 aspect. But I have no problems with my size 13 feet.
Kale, just find a car and sit in it!!!!! Don't drive it cause you'll want one soooooo bad.
Good luck

I'm 6'7", wear a size 14 shoe and fit fine. It's a bit tough to get my legs tucked under there but once I do it's very comfortable. I've driven 18+ hours straight in C4 Corvettes with no trouble at all.

This is good ot hear. Maybe the late model has a different foot well. I noticed the little ridge next to the clutch was a lot deeper and more annoying in the 94 than the ridge next to my uyh.. brake.. on my 86. Can anyone take a pic of the footwell for me?

6'5" w/ size 12 1/2 here. No problems in regular driving but it gets tight when wearing a racing helmet. I just recline the seat a bit and it works fine.
What is it with big guys and ZR1's? The guy I bought mine from is 6'3" and about 260#.

Just don't wear anythig with wide soles, I did this last week and pressed on the brake and the gas at the same time :0 needless to say it was scary... heh.
I am 6'4" and fit just fine. Getting out is the tough part. I want to stay in !

Do you 6'7" guys fit in with the roof on, or is that a detail you forgot to mention! I'm just under 6'1" and I can feel my hair stand up under the stock roof. I use the glass top most of the time because it gives me about another inch of clearance. And I can't recline the seat back much more or I'd have to move the seat up too close to the wheel and my legs wouldn't fit. Maybe there should be a bubble top, similar to the way the Viper roof is convex for more room.

I am 7'8 and wear a size 23 shoe, and I drive my ZR1 just fine.
Actually, I'm 6'1 and 260 pounds, and I drive my ZR1 just fine.
...well, I'm 6'1 and 260 pounds... and I drive my '78 L48 just fine...
...and it's automatic...
