6'1" 210. Fit very easily in both coupe and verts. The c5 has surprisingly good room. Much more so than other generations I've owned.

UNless you got mobility issues daily driving any vette s something I wouldnt pass up?
Why drive once a week on Saturday when you get that every day! 6 ft 3 you get used to it quick.

I'm typically 6'3 260 (pre pandemic) and fit perfectly in C5s. I packed on 25 pandemic pounds eating ice cream and not going to the gym. Still fit just fine. I let more air out of the seat bladders to fit my broad back..

One of the few times being 5’ 7” pays off.

6'4" 225lbs. Comfortable driving. The only problem I have is if I'm forced to park in a lot and another car parks next to me, and I'm unable to open the door al the way, I have a problem getting in. My right leg goes in without a problem, but I have to pull my left leg in.

Another 6' 4" and 320 lb guy here (although I'm trying to drop the COVID weight at the moment - put on 30 pounds in the last year). Much of my height is in the torso, and I fit fine in the standard coupe. The 2003 Z06 that I owned for a couple of years was a no go since my head couldn't rest against the headrest of the seat, so I was asking for trouble if I were to ever get rear ended. C6 is equally as comfortable, although it feels like I have a bit more room in the C5. C7? I can't even fit in the coupe comfortably. C8 is somewhere in between, but manageable.
