At 5'8" on a good day shrinking in my old age, LOL. Will be doing my test drive after the first of the year. My main concern is the seating position. Is it a legs strait out as in a Corvette? Sounds like you liked the cloth seating.
Thanks again for the positive review.

Legs almost straight out. It's a low car. Lower than my Accord coupe. I can see over the roof standing near it. The nice thing about the new Camaro is the accelerator is floor mounted and long, like old fashioned gas pedals or most German cars.
The cloth seems very strong and durable. Seats are comfortable and easy to find the right position for you. I was also impressed with the telescopic range on the steering column. You can pull the wheel quite a ways out, longer than my Accord. It was Honda who really had the tilt/telescope column long before GM would budge from their old 6 fixed position tilt wheel, and now GM has really decided to take ergonomics seriously. You can find your perfect driving position in the Camaro very easily.
It seems there's some wasted space in the trunk GM opted to cover over. The trunk is actually bigger than I expected but could be even bigger if they took out the sidewall lining. There's a good foot on either side from the lining to the rear quarter panel.
