Well, I'm 6' 4" and around 320 at the moment, and I fit just fine in the C5 Coupe (Z06 was tight at the back of the head due to the roof halo) and the C6. C7 is a different story. I can fit in it, but it's not near as comfortable as my C6. Most guys are Big OR Tall. I'm among the few who are both, and with broad shoulders.

Since it's too much to google the conversion, you probably want someone to do the math for you so 330mm = 12.992 in
I'll leave it as an exercise for you to determine how much smaller than stock steering wheel that is.

It's a big commitment to drive that car daily, I am super glad I didn't get a Z06, I barely can keep this GS on the pavement it's very fast and tires keep spinning all the time maybe I need tires I didn't like the manual the way I thought myself will like it, the Vette's shifter sucks, this car is very low, I had to remove the GS front bumper lip because it hits the road like 10 times per day, certain routes I stopped using anymore due to bumps, it's very painful to keep maneuvering the car to avoid hitting the bumper.
The charger on the other side, I bought it with 15000 miles, sold it at 43000, zero problems, I've owned 2011 Charger back home in Iraq along with Durango and Journey, never an issue with my Mopars.
Don't get me wrong I love the car, but I cannot see myself driving it to work once things go back to normal, my daily commute is 18 minutes now, used to be 35-50 minutes for 13 miles drive.

I doubt he'll respond. He hasn't responded since he was first called out on thinking a Charger is fast, and then on his driving ability.

My issue with most cars is my hands will hit my knees if I turn the wheel. Plus I’m not a fan of the OEM wheel and wouldn’t mind replacing for a mono or sparco

Im 6’8 220 and this is really my only issue with my new(to me) Z06. Hands definitely hit my knees a little and i feel slightly less in control when giving it the beans, but normal driving is perfectly fine. Probably something I’ll have to get used to.

I am 6'4" and I can fit in my '07, but I have to have the seat all the way down and even then, it's tight.
The most headroom I ever had in a smallish car was in the driver's seat of my 1972 VW Super Beetle. Front seats were great. Rear seats? Well, maybe if you were a little person, and if there was going to be more than one passenger in the back, then you had better be on very close terms with your fellow little person.

I'm going in at 6'- 2" @ 350lbs (a work in progress, shooting for low 200's). normal driving position is slightly cramped, but doable for me. on long drives, in between stops, I can alternate putting one foot past the brake pedal (I have done both feet as well).
doing that, I can stretch out for as much room as I need. the footwell in the C6 is fairly wide, compared to the C7. the C7 while being narrower, does seem to have a bit more leg room (only noticed this while at a car show).
