Gen 6 and Tall People - Page 3

*KILLER74Z28* · 05-29-2015, 10:02 PM

I sat in the Blue RS at the reveal and had no issues at all. I'm 6'1" 330. I had to move the seat up two to three inches to comfortably reach the pedals. There was at least 3 to 4 inches above my head with the seat all the way down and I know I could move it up if needed. I could tell the shoulder room was a little tighter but it was not uncomfortable in any way. The guy that sat in it after me was 6'5" 250 and had no issues at all.

What we need to remember is everyone's body is shaped different: long torso, shot torso, no butt, big butt etc. so find one and test it out... Ill bet you'll be surprised at the room.

Pic of me with the red SS to give you an idea of my body size.

6'1' is not 6'7' so your evaluation is not helpful.

Someone needs a hug...

What about the pedals? My feet get caught up between the clutch pedal, and kick panel. It's like a dropkick panel for me. Were there any sasquatches at the reveal? I really should have been invited...

just bumping this in case it helps future questions.

I have a 2016 SS Vert, and I am 6' 7" and go a big 290, a little overweight but a big guy. One of the few sports cars I can truly enjoy and spend an hour plus in with no issues.

6'4" and have decent leg room. Headroom isn't as great as I would like, but it's decent. Hair will definitely rub on headliner.

I'm 6'6" with a pretty long torso and I fit in the Gen 6 and plan to buy one. I wouldn't go for the sunroof and that would impede my headroom. You need to try it out for yourself.

6.3 and legs fit fine but no head room. Forget the helmet, for it will not work.
I have a moon roof also.

6'5 230 - I fit in the car great (no sunroof).

I'm 6'1 and I love the snugness of my cockpit (w/ sunroof), though the extra height inches you have will feel different. Doesn't mean you won't enjoy your fit tho.

ron scubadiver · 06-28-2017, 11:26 AM

Some will have to pass on the sunroof. Everyone should fit, but forget about using the back seat.

I think Shaq had a 5th Gen Camaro. He may have had a sun roof where his head came through. Or had his seats altered.

6'5" and I fit well even with a helmet on. Biggest piece of advice: don't even consider a sunroof...it takes up nearly 2" of head space surprisingly!
