Front interior space - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Snowwolfe · 02-15-2020, 10:47 AM

Greetings. I have a C8 on order but am having second thoughts. Considering a 2020 ZL1 instead. Chevy likes to hide the interior specs so thought I would ask my first question here. How does the front interior space compare to a C7? More or less hip and shoulder room? How do some of you larger guys like the seats? I am 5'10 and 230.
Thanks

You should go to the Camaro6 section to ask those guys since your thinking a 2020 Camaro. They will be glad to answer your question.

For what it's worth, I think the 6th gen camaros feel cramped compared to the 5th gen. I'm pretty average, too, at 5'9"/180.

I’m 6’2” and 235 and i fit great in my zl1 not sure on a 6th gen either.

I'm 6'4" 250 and fit in my 5th Gens fine but the front seat pushes against the back seat as far as I recline to be comfortable. I've been driving "sports cars" for years and prefer a snug fit though. The 6th gens keep me from reclining the seat far enough back and my head almost touches leaving me looking out the top of the windshield and feeling cramped. I've set in several for some reason thinking something will change, it never does, lol. Keeps me happy in my 5th gens. I have talked with a few owners of 6th gens including a neighbor with a '19 ZL1. He is a little over 6' and said he could have more room but is good with it.
GL on your decision.

I can’t close the driver door on a C7 without it smashing my arm against the center console and shoulder against the driver door. 6’2 214, 5/6 gens np. In the real world it would just make sense to make a trip to the Chevy dealer and sit in one, still plenty on the lots.
