Default Intro.

Hi,

Lifetime corvette fan. Currently in a e39 m5 and looking to see what the C7 has to offer. I'm too tall to fit in the c6, so I'm hoping the C7 will give me the headroom I need.

Thanks, me too. I really wanted a C6 z06, but just couldn't make it fit. I'm 6'7" btw if anyone has experience in modifying a C6 zo6 to fit.

Welcome! If you wait as long as I have have to get your first Corvette you will have realized the benefit of "body shrink".

Trust me... its crossed my mind. There are so many cars that I simply cannot fit into. Even my M5 feels small at times. The 911 fits me the best for a sports car, but it just isn't as fun as a v8 rwd.
