I am 5' and 17" tall and am about 255 lbs. I am a 'Big Ole Boy' and I
fit into the 07C6 just fine. I find it comfortable even on longer rides. The adjustability (is that a word) of the driver's seat, lumbar and side support really helps. Only problem I occasionally have is having to back in to the seat, then rotate. Once in a while I am gangly and bump into things.

6'3", 190lbs with a 36" inseam. Not as much headroom in the car as I would like. My head hits depending on how vertical my seat back is. Unfortunately, the sport seats move upwards when you bring the side back more vertical. It's a design flaw of the power seats.

I'm 6'2" and have trouble. I have an '05 coupe and have about 1/2" clearance between my head and the cross member behind the removable top. I have a long torso and before anyone can say it, NOT a fat head. I had to get rid of my '03 Z06 because I would hit my head going over rough roads. It is a matter of your body's dimensions.
The C6 coupe has more headroom... a lot more it seems.. I fit in fine with no problem...

I too put in the '02 headliner. When I traded it in, I didn't put the '03 headliner back.

shrinkage- maybe if I jump in a lake before the ride.....
My head hits behind the top, even with the top off I can't cram enough in. No one answered my question about removing and redoing the plastic cover, it might work.

6'3", I have problems, maybe all these other tall guys are tall in the legs...
If I have my headliner installed on my transparent top, my head brushes it... I continually worry about the halo as my head is right at it, if I ever get hit in the rear, I see some serious head trauma as a possibility...
Best answer, sit in one and see for yourself...

I feel the same about the head trauma, there is zero room for me. (34" leg, 6'6)

oh suuuuure
I bet you are one of 'those' guys that can just walk into any store and buy shoes, shorts, clothes too!
The last car I bought was a new LHS, because I fit in it. Now, with sports injuries over the years, with a fire fighting incident that blew me off a 16' deck, there are 2 vehicles that do not hurt my back. Full size f350 dually, and a Corvette. But, not a coupe or Z, dammit.

hello. I've wanted a corvette c6 for along time now, it's my absolute favorite car ( the Z06), and now that it's about to be a reality (i am having my final exam soon), i started thinking. How much space is there in the c6 cabin?
I am a tall guy about 6'7 (202 cm), can i even fit in a coupe ore Z06?
Bare with me and my english, I'm from europe, scandinavia.
By the way fantastic forum...
Thanks in advance...

At 6'7", I think it's a longshot, though.
