Without the sunroof its doable, and I am going to have to fit while wearing a helmet (I can't wait to get get the car, and get on a track), that would be a no go with the sunroof.

This will be my first vehicle without a sunroof (except for the convertible), I don't use them often, but I do like to have one.

Have the sunroof. Personal preference.
Went from a 2013 ZL1 Vert to this. Quiet when its closed and enjoyable when its down.
I'm also 6ft 2". Not one bit of head room issue for me.

I like the open air experience with the sunroof. While I agree it probably looks better without from the outside I don't really notice it much. I also kinda like how the roof looks when open. To each his own, just glad we have the option

Looks good!

No sunroof need the headroom. Over time sunroofs have problems including leaking.

I'm 6'3", thought I wanted no sunroof, but the interior is so much more open with the roof, I'm glad I have it. Frankly the double bubble is a half-a**ed attempt, no where near as attractive as a viper coupe double bubble, so turns out I kind of like no crease lines on my roof. But to each their own.

Headroom difference is about 1". In my SS the seats are as high as they go, I have an average length torso and there is 2" of clearance with a sunroof.

The Camaro sunroof works better than any other I have used due to a really good design that eliminates buffeting.

Hmm. Are you all torso? I ask because I am over 6'3" and have an SS with the sunroof and have no problems. My torso is more or less normally proportioned - neither short nor long. What I found was helpful was to spend a lot of time working the seat control. You have to get the seat all the way down, and also recline the seat back a tad. Do that, and you may be happy with the fit. Of course, such things are very much personal preference, but give it a try, if you care to.

I'm a little long in the torso, and I don't like to be to 'laid back' in the seat, I like to be fairly upright (which is part of the problem) add in a helmet and I need every bit of space I can get.

LOL I love it. Couldn't agree more

Sunroof all the way, I love it! my Windows are down and sunroof is open every chance I get, I have driven 9 hours strait many times in the sunshine from Toronto to New Jersey and back, it makes the drive 100% better enjoying the warm fresh air and also hearing your exhaust much better

Your car looks awesome with it closed or open
