I'm only 5'11" so I don't have a dog in this hunt but GM should consider adjustable pedals along with the tilt/telescope wheel, sounds like there is a big market.
The throttle is already drive by wire and the clutch and brakes are hydraulic so there shouldn't be any frame/driveline changes. Maybe just extend the lower firewall on the drivers side w/adjustable pedals?

YES! YES! YES! on adjustable pedals! 
It would seem to be a very easy adjustment. In fact, I may look into it myself. With the foot behind the brake pedal trick, I can completely lock out my left leg! There is a ton of room back there, I just wish they would have used it.
but as everyone always states (which it seems to be a more common thread with every version of vette), they tried to keep the cost down. I would argue that they just don't care about us freaks
Just for argument sake, I'll give you this short story. I bought my wife a 2010 Prius. As always, our fitment test is: I get comfortable in the front, get out, and then get in the back seat behind the driver seat. The Prius had more room than ANY CAR WE LOOKED AT! In fact, I can't put the seat back the entire way or I have to strectch for the wheel! Quite frankly, it's CAVERNESS!
Now the little Japanese have no problem building that kind of room into a mid-sized greeny, but AMERICA has difficulty designing room in their SUV's. This car has more leg and head room than a new Yukon we looked at, the new CTSV, the new Lincoln NAV etc. etc. Man, just wish we put more thought into our designs of the flagships. Don't get me wrong, I can't begin to sit comfortably in a Sniper, a Porshe, or a new 370Z. The vette is the way to go, and I love it. Just wish that on the last day of design... they pushed a bit more before the coffee break
