Right around 6 foot here with a bit longer torso for my height.

With the seat all the way down and the back slightly reclined from normal I have about a hands width of room on top. And I can easily remove the helmet with one hand on the return road.

But as others have said, try it on for size before buying. I would not have a 5th or sixth gen Camaro without one any more. I did try a 5th gen ZL1 without one. I missed the extra light and air without cracking the windows fro sure.

It all depends on your body type and where on your body your height comes from, long legs or long torso.

I agree. I have a long torso, explaining why a 5'11" person like me rubs the roof.

Thank you everyone.

I'm 5'7'' and don't rub at all but can't see over the hood!!

torso or legs, which is longer will make all the difference in the measurement

I am 6'2" and I have been to the track a few times. Drag racing tho. I have not had an issue with my helmet on. I'm not sure how it would be on a road course or circle track as that's not my thing. But I do adjust the seat for when I'm at the track with the helmet on and I adjust it back to normal (for me) when I'm done.

Sat in non sunroof and it's rough. A 2018 with 2k miles arrived locally today but it has a sunroof. Sounds like they want about $60k. I'm going to head down now and see how I fit. I can't imagine a helmet too ugh....

5' 11" and I like to sit upright and fairly close to the steering wheel when racing so my wrists hit the steering wheel with my arms extended. Sitting further back makes you use larger muscle groups which give you a little less in the way of fine motor skills for track and autoX. With a helmet on and sitting this way, no way could I fit with a sunroof. Fit fine without the sunroof. Also fit fine, if I lean the seat back more than I wanted.

6'-1" and to me its not an option with a sunroof. the last thing I want is to be thinking about my head brushing the roof when I need to focus on the track. I went with no sunroof and its still fairly tight with a helmet on. jean length is 34 to give you a reference on torso.

Very useful information. Thank you very much.

I'm 6'5" Long torso per the Army when I was disqualified from a few vehicles due to torso height hah.

ZL1 with no sunroof. Seat all the way down/back to max recline. Just enough room for my helmet.

why people want sunroof? adds weight in wrong place. Anyone here rumor, Hellcats w/roof were bending?
