6'-8" tall-will I fit?
#21
Intermediate
I am 6'8" @ 210lbs. and I make it work. Is it a little tight? Yes. Is it unbearable? Absolutely not (in my opinion).
I've taken the Z06 on several 2-3 hour road trips and felt perfectly fine afterwards. Even with competition seats, I find this car to be extremely comfortable for what it is.

First, only the GT seats will be best. You can make the seat sit lower by running it forward all the way and then lower it all the way. Lastly run it all the way back and get in. If your head is close to hitting, you can get an additional inch of headroom with a “glass” top. Get the A8 so you don’t have to use a clutch, just the brake and gas. Tight fit but you will make it.

When your that big you can crack plastic and break things getting in and out!

I read here years ago that guys were disconnecting the seat position sensor. This allowed the seat to travel farther back and down but I will guess not much. It's located at the rear lower of the seat floor. Beware this sensor probably has something to do with the cars restraint systems. BTW my instructor friend is about 6.4 and fits in my GT seats with helmet although very snug.

Put the top down; no problem.

6’ 2” 215 and I wouldn’t want to be any taller or wider. I tracked a C7 at Spring Mountain and with a helmet it took a while to find a place to make it work. But it did. It’s tight. 6’8”? All I can say is go spend some time at a dealer to see if you can get the seat to position so it works.

Get a Hellcat, you'll be a lot more comfortable.

I think that even if you do get a new seat that enables you to "fit" in a C7 you'll never feel comfortable. I say this because I'm 6' 2" 195 but could barely fit in my wife's C3 coupe. I could get in but couldn't wait to get out; legs bent, shoulder against the door, and head right against the side of the T-Roof.

I’m 5’9, 180 and mine fits me perfectly bc I’m a normal height 😂😂. Nah tbh it’s a chore getting in and out of mine and mind you I’m extremely athletic (built) and 34 yo but holy cow it’s ridiculous getting in and out of it especially in my tight garage with the other C7Z parked next to it. So good luck at 6’8

Well that's good to hear - I'm glad it has worked out for you! I think it's a shame that some people just can't fit into cars that they'd otherwise love to have.

YES BUT NOT COMFORTABLE. I am 6' 3" 220 # and I do fit using all the seat adjustment back & down but not as comfortable as my C6 was, particularly on long drives. The clear top will help but the leg room will still be cramped for you.
