Default Leg Room

Just got my 04 Z06 & had my friend in the passenger seat, he is 6'1" & with the seat all the way back as possible he was sitting with his knees up. Is the leg room that short in this car? Is any more adjustment possible. Specs say leg room 41" but so was my previous car but my Z06 seems shorter inside.

I'm 6'2". As a passenger it's a bit tight. Maybe not as tight as your friend made it seem. Was he sitting back & tall in the seat??

My son and I are both 6'2". I have been in the passenger's seat when he drives and have been comfortable. He has sat on the passenger's side as well (bear in mind his legs are a full 2" longer than mine) and he has never had a problem. Can't understand why someone 6'1" would have issues.

:confused: I'm 6'4" and have 0 problems driving or riding. Try being 6'4" with a mustang.

tilting the seat back makes a bunch of difference.

I am 6' and cannot believe how much leg room I have in the driver and the passenger seat of my 04. But, you can't always compare two people of the same total height. Some people just have very long legs for their overall height. Your friend might just be one of them. For a 6' 1" man with a more typical leg to height profile, there should be no problem with the leg room.
