I'm no where near as tall as you (only 6'), but the C5 has a lot of room in it for the driver and the seat has a number of adjustments that can help. Since everyone is different in their comfort level, your best bet is to just go out and drive a few cars and see how well you fit behind the wheel. And the suggestions above are very good in terms of things to consider when looking for a car.
The C5 is a great car and I hope you find that it fits you just right. Best of luck making your decision.

with my friend Jack. Same stats for me, but because of a back problem as a young man, was ordered by my Dr.to sit closer in all cars, with my knees bent. As a result I had lots of knee/console issues with a variety of cars. None of those with the Z. I also sit with the seat as high as practical as well. (Except when I wear my top hat or conehead costume).

I am amazed at how many tall guys own Vettes. Everytime I drive mine folks laugh at why I bought such a small car for being a big guy. I remind them that NO car is really big as even my full size truck can feel small sometimes.
...and besides owning a Vette is worth the contortion it takes to get in and out of it!
