I'm anxiously awaiting the opportunity to actually try a gen6. Early specifications showed that the gen 6 LOST nearly an inch of headroom (36.6") compared with the gen 5 (37.4")! But the lead designer stated that there was more headroom in the gen 6. Indeed, the specifications in the current edition of Motor Trend list a 1" gain in headroom (38.5"). I don't know what to think at this point.
There is no set standard for interior measurements, so it's near impossible to make a judgement of how you will fit until you try it. I passed up a chance to buy the last 2015 SS 1LE available locally in hopes that the 2016 has more room. I'll be very sad if it turns out I don't fit in the 2016.

I found a local dealer with a gen6 Camaro (2LT), but it had a sunroof. Tried it anyway, and I fit. My hair just touched the roof though, and I tend to sit in a more reclined position. There's no way I'd fit with a helmet on, and if you prefer to sit more upright, and are tall in the body (I wear tall size shirts), you may have trouble with the sunroof even without a helmet.
Still waiting to find a Camaro with no sunroof, but it looks like most of the dealers are ordering up fully loaded cars.
