Hope that helps at some level.
Might fit in the front seat!

FWIT, this is some data I prepared for the C6, C7 and C8 storage space. No as simple as looking at numbers as the Truck shape is rather complex. Lots of square inches but also a large bulge for the lock mechanism.

Note the C6 to C7 large "apparent" change was due to GM changing they way they measure. SAE has defined box size items from large to shoe box and one even for golf clubs. GM's mentho for the C6 (and other cars of that time) was more like how many Ping Pong ***** fit!


The odd shapes in the Truck (& Frunk) make certain things hard to fit! Like the large "lump" for the Trunk pull down motorized latch restricts what can fit.

I asked the same thing. and i was asked about the Taylor glue holding my guitar together in that heat. Long story short, I had a carbon fiber guitar made to match my new C8. Made by emeraldguitars.com in ireland

BUT where to put the trailer? No room on the garage floor and NOT over my street rod or wife's car! Sure over the C6! Just have to trust your skills!

One of the advantages of a C7 - a good sized trunk.
