Default Minimum width to exit?

Can someone measure the minimum total door edge open extra width to exit from the driver's seat. e.g.. the car is 76.1" wide, but need 87" to open door and exit. My double garage is tight and just wondering if I will have to move the other car each time to get out/in of the Corvette.

There was another recent thread on width with the doors open that might help.

At my house we back in the car on the right and head in the car on the left. That way you can park the cars quite close and the driver can still exit. The passenger has to exit before entering the garage. Works for us.
