Default How Big of Ol Boy R U?

I'm only 5'10" and weigh 246lbs. When I started looking for a C5, I noticed that the driver's side seats were nearly all worn, or looked worn with cracked leather in the seats and bolsters. I guess someone could do a study and find that the owners of C5's are pretty hefty!
Anyway, I got tired of trying to get in and out of mine, so I had it stretched out a little and you know everything in Texas is bigger!!

Interesting problem. I know a girl with an '01 A4 Coupe. She's 4'10" and couldn't work an M6 if she had to.

6'4" 250 lbs, this is my first vette and when i was looking i checked out the BMW Z4, Nissan Z350, some others that i could'nt even get into. The vette is the most comfortable by far. Getting in and out of any sports car is a trial and always has been. LOVE IT
