6'0", no issues with the sunroof. Just have to find that "right" spot that you're comfortable with.

I agree there are too many variables and asking every person on the Camaro forum to post their comfort level is only going to add to the confusion.

Why don't you (or somebody) just get in both cars and just measure the headroom? The seat would of course need to be in the same exact position on both cars, probably all the way back and down. It might be easiest just to measure the clearance above your head.

I removed the plastic spacer above the headliner (upside down ice tray) to add some head room. This can be done from the sunroof opening without removing the headliner.

Also lowered the steering column because with seat reclined for optimum head clearance, I could not comfortably reach the top of the steering wheel. This helps a lot but reduced gage visibility.
What? Could you explain more about what you did here. I need more headroom.

+1. With my helmet on I have to tilt my head to the side. Even an inch could help.
6'2" 2ss w/ sunroof, for the record.

6'0 with a 2013 2SS Sunroof without helmet no problems. Rub on headliner with helmet on. Still like the glass in the roof.

6'3" and I have a long torso and kind of a long neck (tall skinny basketball player frame) and my head touches the roof in Camaros with sunroofs (with the seat adjusted all the way down and tilted).

I fit perfectly (with about 1" extra headroom) in Camaros with no sunroof. But when I wear my helmet at the track its a very tight fit.

If I had a sunroof I would never be able to track my car with a helmet. It would be 100% impossible. That's something to think about if you ever want to track your car.
My friend is 6'5" and his head rubs the roof in my Camaro with no sunroof. And yes that is with the seat all the way to the floor and tilted back quite a bit.

But it depends on your torso. Some people have longer legs (where they get most of their height) while some others have longer torsos and necks. That will make a big difference in your head room.

2011 SS with sunroof.

I'm 6'-4" and I have no issues. When my hair barely starts to touch the headliner I know it's time for a haircut.

They say you are taller first thing in the morning than you are the rest of the day. I believe this to be true. Sometimes when I get into the car to drive to work, my hair will barely graze the headliner. But when I drive it at lunch or to go home, I have 1/2 to 3/4 of additional space.

Now my father who is a couple inches shorter than me has his head touch the headliner when he sits in the passenger seat. I'm mostly legs where he is mostly torso.

No sunroof here, 6'3" and I have about an inch of headroom.

No idea why anyone would want a sunroof Camaro. They add weight in the worst possible location and you loose the reverse mohawk.
