Looking at getting a new 2017-Z06, love the car, but will I fit? 6'-8" 245? Any chance?

Go to a dealer and try to sit in one, i really don't see why not. There are a few pro football players that have z06's I know mario williams has one and hes 6'5 260

There have been many threads about this over the years.
Biggest guys, tallest guys etc... truely only way to know is to go sit in one.
Big investment so be sure.
Where are you located, I bet a forum member would let you sit in their's with no sales pressure.

While the interior of the C7 is much nicer than the previous cars, they're much tighter. At just 6'1" 225 I didn't want to move away from the comfort of the C6 however I did buy a C7(I still have my C6) and have put some miles on it now and my opinion remains the same. The C7 is less comfortable from a leg room prospective. I got the GT seats only because they were slightly more roomy than the comp seats.

Only you can decided but based on your size I'd have a hard time believing you'd enjoy the fit.

I would say "no". I am 6'5" and don't really fit in mine. with a helmet on my head hits the roof bar. Seat doesn't really go back far enough, etc. In my C6 Z06 I was able to put a racing seat in that was lower and farther back. That might be an option for you.

I'm 6'2"...and for me, there's very little left over that for leg/ headroom. 6'8" no way.

911 would be about the only sports car you'd fit it. And you'd have plenty of room in there. I have almost a foot of combined leg/ headroom left in my 991 TTS...so @ 6'8" - easy fit!

No chance you will fit. I'm 6'2" and i barely fit. I'm considering a new gt3 because I track my car and with a helmet on my head is jammed on the roof no mater how I adjust the seat. I love my z06 but it's frustrating why Chevy can't build the vette with a little more room. if I were to get in an accident on the street my head would smash against the roof bar.

A '17+ ZL1 will give you a bit (Not a ton) more room to work with, might want to look at those too. Also the 2016+ CTS-Vs will certainly fit you.

As for the Vette, not sure, I highly doubt it. I know a guy that's 6' 6" and he had to remove the seat and put a Tillett seat kit that sits a lot lower and further back so he could put a helmet on in the car safely. That could be an option as mentioned.

After you try sitting in a new C7, if you don't fit I recommend you next try a Mini Cooper. When I was selling Minis a few years back I had a guy stop by an Auto Show display saying he just wanted to see if he fit. He adjusted the seat a bit, got in, made a few more adjustments and said, "Yep, plenty of head room, plenty of leg room, seems like a perfect fit for me." He was 6'-10" tall.

If you do try one, go for the John Cooper Works version. Not a Z06 by any means but a very impressive performer. --Bob

Im 6'3 and 250 and i barely fit, no way will you fit or be comfy

6'4 and 250, with standard (non-competition) seats in a 3LZ. If I were any larger, in any dimension (leg length, torso length, blubber volume) I wouldn't fit. I do not have room to wear a helmet in mine without hunching way forward.

A dedicated race seat would be your only option, I'd think...

6'4" @ 240 here and it's very track ready tight (if you know what I mean)

A fellow coworker and I went into the dealership for a test fit. He is 6'6" @ 330lbs. He really wants a Corvette so we shoe-horned him into the C7. It took two of us to yank him out of it.

I know a former marine who's 6-5 or 6-6 and he's never complained, but then his is a convertible and I've never seen him with the top up! And I guess those guys likely don't "complain" about a lot anyway...

Blue02ws6

you will need the transparent top and a different seat to fit good but it's doable.

REDHULK

So you all know cleetus mcfarland!!! Hell ya brother!! Bald eagles!! Yes that guy with the white c7 stingray procharged with his youtube channel, he has a custom race seat and he said it sits 2 inches lower, but it doesnt look real comfy, but its an option

You Tube has drawbacks. This guy is a category 5 dipshit.

Depends on torso length, im 6'3 and fit fine, I'd like more headroom and visibility out the windshield though but for a supercar im ok with car.
