I am 6'1" at 295 and it fits me like a glove. Plenty of head room but no one is going to sit behind me.

6'4 and 245 here. Fits me better than C7. Especially the passenger side. C7 has very small passenger side room. (important because my family are all on the tall side)

Truth.

One of the reasons I am driving a Camaro right now instead of a Corvette is because the Camaro is a better physical fit for me at 6'3 and a little under 300.

I can spend 3-4 hours at a time behind the wheel of my car comfortably before needing to get out of the car and stretch my legs. I can't say that about the C7. I still plan on having a late 7th-gen or even a next-gen Corvette, but it's going to be a weekend car, and not something I will commute in.

6’10”, and it fits me... JUST KIDDING!! In my dreams!! I can only wish to be that tall.

6'8" and I have plenty of room...part of the reason why I bought a 6 gen and not a Vette.

5'11 no issues and I drove mine 19 hours home on delivery day

6'4" 220 lbs and I find this car to be amazingly comfortable. The seat has more rearward adjustment than I can use and the console and door armrest are positioned perfectly. Tall guys know that even the armrest on some big SUVs don't even extend back far enough so your left arm is uncomfortable.

I too chose Camaro over Corvette for fit and comfort reasons. More interesting was the discussion of co-development between Corvette and Camaro. Chevy performance bookends the entire spectrum with the two cars and they overlap as a result. That's a good thing for the customer and why Chevy is the best domestic performance brand.

6', 250 and it fits me well, but since it is a 2 door, it is much easier to get in and out of when the door is opened all the way. I still have to step up and out but I love the car!
