71+, 6-2", 220 Exit easy, the last couple of inches between a_ _ and seat is a little tough on entry. All easier when you are able to open the door wide and steering wheel is up.
Engine start with NPP in open mode always yields a big s_ _ t eating grin.

Just a thought, but if you have memory seats you could always set position 2 to be up very high for ingress/egress, and have position 1 be your normal driving position.
This of course assumes no one else wants to have their own memory seat setting.

My memory seats automatically go all the way back to enter/exit. At 70, I find that very convenient. I want a larger opening, not a shorter one.

Damn, do we have some old farts on this forum. I'm not sure I qualify as I don't have a Corvette right now. But I'm about to turn 60 and last weekend I was running my "sport bike" on some back roads - I hit second gear just right and rode with the front tire about a foot off the ground from 70-90 mph - and I am not even a wheelie sort of guy.
Keep yourself in good shape and think young. I plan to do this sort of stuff till I'm 90 (scares my wife when I tell her that, but I'm not kidding).

My 86 year old father, who takes great care of himself, had no problem getting in and out of my Z06.
