Less. The seats in my 2012 Grand sport were a little wider and more comfortable. I do like the z06 better overall.

Less. Even though they may spec up the same numerically (don't know) the -design- of the C7 interior is such that:

- You sit ON a C6
- You sit IN a C7

I prefer the C7 interior by a HUGE margin, but it does feel more cramped, even though it's not. I think it's just "more intimate" as the surfaces are closer to you.

I like the C7 better, but in my view it has less room than the C6, or I have gained weight, which is entirely possible.

A disagree and feel like I sit on the c7 and in the c6. Also I feel like the c6 was a tad bit wider inside. Definitely more head room in c6

C7 is definitely tighter than a C6. I think its mainly due the seat styling.

There is definitely more cargo room in the back compared to our C6 Z06. Took our normal stuff for a road trip last weekend, had room to spare in the back.

I think you will find that the C6 Z has nearly 50% more cargo area than the C7 Z.

C6 Z06 coupe has 22 cu ft and the C7 Z06 coupe has 15 cu ft.

Sitting in both the driver's and the passenger's seat, the C7 feels more cramped than the C6 to me. 5'11", 206 pounds.

The cramp inside is what made me not buy the car originally. I was going to just buy a zr1, but the interior and raw sexiness of the c7 changed my mind.

Well if that's true it must be an optical illusion because we were able to take everything we normally took on a road trip in our C6Z and had room to spare in the back with the C7Z.
