Question About Fitting Into a 2012 SS - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'd definitely take it for a long test drive. the car just isn't built for big people. it may be able to accommodate them, but it sure isn't designed for them. If I were 6'3, I certainly wouldn't buy a coupe of any type without doing that.

Nice, my grandfather had bought a 2011 Silverado LTZ crew cab right before he passed away. He left it to me.

I wouldn't buy any car without test driving it,,,,,,,,,,,, having said that and being among the larger of the specie on average.........the Camaro coupe not only is accommodating and comfy, but seems to be designed if only by accident, for many sizes and shapes. I'm not saying its for everyone...........but you may be pleasantly surprised. I've driven Caspers on jaunts of over 1200 miles in a day and these travels have been void of physical aches and pains. I'm a senior with plenty of reasons to have aches and pains..............

seriously.

My other rides include a Chevy Avalanche..........its comfy too but not more so than the Gen5 Camaro.

I'm 6'1, 230 and fit with plenty of room. Both front seats recline way back and there is plenty of leg room thanks to the vehicle having "rear seats"..

You did the right thing , you know the story , IF SHE ............NO ONE IS , even you big man .

There is plenty of room for tall people in the Camaro.....in the 2 front seats. People who complain about head clearance just need to lower the driver's seat.

i m 7 feet and i fit pretty good, i dont have sunroof cuz i tried one with it and seemed less roomy for head, this one i got (2ss 45th) i fit just fine probably i just wouldnt be able to fit a helmet for racing in a track :/

Im 6'8" and 280 and have a ton of room. I've even taken it on a couple trips back home to Asheville (About 5 hours) and its been great!

Am I the only one at 6'1 and 246 that feels like Shamu in a dixie cup?

Just kidding... but the seats are gonna hug you a little.

6'0", 265. Fit fine, as long as the wife remembers to put the seat down and back when she exits.

Taser Deployed · 04-30-2012, 07:57 PM

I'm 6'3 225 and I fit fine. You should take note that the models with a sunroof do have a little less headroom than the one's without it. There's a thread about it somewhere on here.
