It's all relative. Some people over 6 feet have shorter legs and long torso. Some are long legged and shorter from the waste up.
Have you ever seen a really tall guy in an older Jag or MG convertible. Pretty comical with there head above the top of the windshield! LOL

I drive a 2013 1LE with sunroof. I am 5'10" and I fit ok but I would be hitting the top with a helmet. I like the fact that I can let additional light in the dark bunker-like cabin but I don't actually open it that much. It only opens up like a foot. If you are on a budget I would put that $900 toward MRC, NPP exhaust, upgraded wheels, etc.

I'm 6'7", but with a 38" inseam, so I'm all legs :-) I had adequate headroom in a gen 5 with no sunroof and no helmet on. But with a helmet on, I was wedged in pretty good, and I had to recline the seat more than I would have liked.
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. Nigel |

I'm 6'5 370 and I'm comfortable in my car. I have a few inches above my head. I don't have a sunroof. Was wondering the same about the new cars.....I heard these seats sit lower also. So hopefully I'd be comfortable with a sunroof.

Head room
here's the rub. Chevy lists (on their site) the head room as 36.6". This is presumed to be without the sunroof, but it doesn't really say. I cannot imagine if the sunroof took an inch away from that figure!
Motor Trend's COTY article (for which the Camaro won ) lists headroom at 38.5"...a huge difference! I am 6'2" and like a fairly upright position. 38.5 works, 36.6 probably won't. This spec is a make or break factor for me. I have no problem getting into a Mustang GT, but let's face it, it is the inferior car for the time being...unless I scrape enough together for a GT350. In short, I have to sit in 2016 to find out, but that's proving difficult as the cars come in sold and they won't let any one sit in them at my dealership (which is thoroughly lame, but...). |

Still waiting to find a Camaro with no sunroof, but it looks like most of the dealers are ordering up fully loaded cars. Nigel |

If you are going to autocross don't order a sunroof! Helmut probably won't clear!

I actually had to get the dealer to take back my 2011 IOM 2SS with a sunroof and they let me exchange it for a CG 2SS with no sunroof because I only had the car for 48 hours and they didn't turn the paperwork in. My problem is when I test drove the IOM I was wearing a hat so I didn't really realize my head rubbed the headliner the whole time. As soon I drove to work the next day I quickly realized it wasn't going to work. I tried to lower the seat and recline as much as possible. I even considered going with the old school buzz cut.
All of that being said I sat in a Red 2016 2SS with a sunroof and I had no problems at all. Gen5 roof too low Gen6 just right...

Good news, I'm 6'3" and my son is 6'4". We have a sunroof and we both fit comfortably. I have the seat as low as possible, but I don't need it all the way at the rear stop.
