how tall???
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...

I'm 6'4", 250, and my seat is all the way back, with NO adjustment. My right knee is right up against the dash. I installed a pad on the left side of the console ($25 on ebay) to help cushion it. But it's nice to be able to put your left leg straight out (with an automatic)! And it's every discomfort.

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.

I'm 6'6" 205lbs and just sat behind the wheel of a 06 vette vert at a vette show this AM. the top was down and I had to flip the sun visor up as it is directly in my line of sight. I fit okay but it was a little tight, I know if I get one, it will have to be an automatic.

bigger is badder
Guess I win the big guy contest. Maybe not height though. Football was good for me!
I am 6'6 340, but with 34" inseam. I am all back.
There just is no possible way to fit into a coupe, z is worse. The Verts have infinately more room. I am buying a vert only, because it is the only thing that fits.

I am 6'4" with only a 32" inseam, I have a very long body, I fit best in my Coupe with the top off, the clear top affords the most headroom of the two tops. But I have driven it for 5 hours straight with the top on and I was very comfortable.

I'm 6'7" and 197 and I fit okay in the C6, but not as much room as the C5. I don't care what they say, the C6 is way smaller on the inside than the c5. It all depends on how you are built. Long torso, or long back, weight changes things etc.

wow, im 6' 170 lbs and the seat is all the way back and i still feel like i need some more room. my buddy who is 6'3 200 lbs can barely fit in the car. knees are on the dashboard, very uncomfortable looking. Did I get a smaller car or something? lol I will agree with the other guy when he said that the vette is a spacious sports car compared to whats out there, but not huge by any means. Hope that helps.
