Its not the greatest photo, but you can see there is no place for a passenger to keep their left arm if they normally like to use an arm rest. It definitely seems overly driver focused. They liked to brag the corvette was the perfect long distance cruising supercar. The c8 doesnt look like they catered to anything but the driver. My wife would never ride in this thing.

Ugh, failed with the photo... if an admin could give me some assistance

No need to sell off a kidney. I've already confirmed Classic in Grapevine is an MSRP dealer. Wait 6 months and you might get suppliers discount too. BUT they have 168 allocations for the C8 this year and half are already spoken for as of two weeks ago... The C8 is scheduled to make an appearance there in Oct I believe.

It's tight... very tight. Maybe the guys that drive corvette's are used to this, but wow, it feels like you are in a cockpit. Little to no room to do anything but drive. Controls are easily reachable. Nice comfortable palm rest of the mode change turn knob.
Head space is minimal... 6 foot guy got in,, pulled the seat all the way down and back and his head was touching the T-Top. If you are taller than 6 feet and you hit a bump... ouch

Even the designers say it was designed for people much taller than 6 feet. (Not to mention the 6'5" people that a few of the replies have already referred to.)
