Hello, I am 61 about 5'11 and about 325lbs, yea I know I am too heavy. Anyway I would like to know what corvette has the largest drivers area. I once owned a '77 model and the foot compartment was too narrow for my feet and I was hard against the door on one side and the center column on the other side. I know that the latest generation is probably going to be the largest but I am not willing to spend that kind of money. So I am looking at the previous generations. Thanks in advance.

Hello, this Help section is for Help with the CorvetteForum website (account issues, etc.,) and is not the place to post technical questions about Corvettes, or other questions not related to the website, as they will not be seen by other Corvette owners.

Instead, please find the correct section, based on the generation of the Corvette.

Go back to the main forum page:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/

Now start to slowly scroll down until you see your generation of Corvette listed.

53 thru 82 Vettes were usually about 69" wide. 84 thru 96 were 71" wide. 97 thru 05 were 73.6: wide. 06 thru 23 were 76" to 80" wide. Obviously, those dimensions were outside on the car.
