Hello to all,

I have always loved corvettes but must admit I do not know a lot about the details. I am now in the position to purchase a used one.(Thinking 06-07). What I wanted to ask - is there one particular model that fits TALL GUYS? I am 6'6 and do not want to waste time looking at models that I would not fit in.

Can anyone recommend a place to buy in Greenville SC?


Thanks for the help
Mark

We purchased an '06 vert. My husband is about 6'5" and weighs around 290 lbs. He has plenty of leg and head room.
