Width Of Car v Width Of Driveway

I can't be the only UK based prospective owner who's had to trhink of this. I know the car is 75.5 inches wide.... and my driveway is 95 inches wide.

Quick question.... how wide is the car inc mirrors?

The wall will come down if it effin has to.

Cheers
Bluey

Hi Mate, I have just joined the forum. What part of Glasgow are you from? I picked up my 2011 camaro rs at the weekend and you would be more than welcome to come and see it / take measurements if you wish.

Hey guys, greeting from the USA.
Not sure if this helps, but for US standards ALL motor vehicles must be 8 feet or less(96"), unless specially licensed and placarded.

Mirror to mirror width is 82.5"

I say grab a sledgehammer and take the wall down just for fun and stress relief

PS Mustangs FTW

Thanks for the stats Spartan.... if it was as much as 96" then the garden wall is getting the sledgehammer treatment like Ford suggested.

But then, money spent altering the garden and driveway could be better spent on the car.

The car feels bigger than it really is, it makes me crazy trying to park or get in to the garage. Not that it's small, but it feels even larger.
