C7 length
Does anyone happen to know exactly how long a c7 is nose to tail? Wiki says 177 inches but I don't want to make garage decisions based on Wikipedia. I can't get to my storage unit to measure mine until tomorrow.

Big garage is important.
My one house close to work I like a lot but the garage is 20 by 20. Plus I cannot add to it. I notice a lot of new homes going up with 3-4 garage doors but only 20 foot deep stalls then the trucks sit out at night.
Some people pack the garage with junk and can't fit a Honda in there
My main house I extended out to around 44 ft long so it could even fit 4 full size trucks.

When we built our house, the wife had the say what went on in the house and I designed the garage. We only have a two car garage attached to the house, but I can park my dually in one side. We have another large detached garage in the back.

Probably a matter of the coefficient of drag, which has gotten steadily better over the years. Numbers vary, but this right here should give you an idea: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...nd-tunnel.html
