Glad to be back!!
It has been 10 years since my last Corvette (2002 Z06) and I am thinking of purchasing a 2015 Z51 manual. It wont be a daily driver but I want to drive it a lot more than just on the weekend. I sat in one and was surprised with the lack of headroom. I don't recall it being an issue with my past vettes. Otherwise I think GM did a great job with the overall look, fit and finish of the car.

Thank You for the stats. Sat in another one yesterday. Headroom was better than the one I sat in before. Maybe seat wasn't all the way adjusted. Just need to sell my current ride which is proving to be diffifcult
