I'm 6'6 230lbs and have no problems with head room, even with a helmet. Granted, I only wear my helmet for a few minutes at a time while at the dragstrip. Stock seats, 08 1LZ, guess my legs are longer than my torso
CTS-V is quite a contender at autocross.

I'm very interested in the CTS-V coupe when it finally arrives.

I know someone that recently bought one, ran 12.1 at 116mph with paper tags . the cts-v is definitely made for a larger person, but it is a diff kind of machine.

Well I'm 6'5" and 250 lbs. and much of my height is in my body. My 2009 Z06 headroom is marginal but adequate (wish it were more). Leg room is fine. I wish the car had a removable top...or came in a convertable version...but that's just dreaming.

6'3" helmet touches. I could use the Gurney bubble like he had on the Ford GT in the 60's
