I'm big, will I fit?
 
I actually put my deposit down to get my place in line already, but last night over a couple of a beers, my buddy said "your a pretty big guy, do you think you can fit in one?"
So that got me to thinking. I have not been in one yet.
I am 6'3" about 230lb. What do you guys who have actually sat in one think.
Would love to hear from some of you.

big guys are ok unless you have unusually long legs...

I'm 6 1 240 with room to spare ...

I'm 6'4" 245 and was worried about this too. I sat in one last weekend and was amazed how well I fit leg room and all and it was way more comfy than my Titan. Being tall makes it a little annoying getting in but that's expected. So unless your strangely per-portioned you should fit easily.

By the time my wife tried to take a pic I was getting out and the pic came out weird but it might help for scale a bit.

Thanks for the info.
Now I just to to be really, really, patient.
I got on the band wagon a little late. Although, I am waiting on a convertible.

If this guy can fit you should be fine, i dont think he could fit with the top on though...

lmao that was funny.

OP i think it will be tight. It maybe a problem with a helmet If you like to race, but daily driving you should be ok.

best thing is to sit in one and see if you're comfortable.

:D They need to put Shaq in a Stingray instead of a Buick... let's see how he manages without the option of reclining the driver's seat all the way back. :bonk:

Someone had posted an issue a few days ago about the auto seat settings. The setting to go all the way back, and the wheel scopes in and up, works fine. Apparently though it returns to the driver setting when doors unlock instead of when it's started.
Probably not a problem for you as I'm thinking the seat will always be back! I'm one of those short legged guys...

I'm 6' 1" and about 300lbs. I sat in one a couple of weeks ago and while it was obviously tighter than my Infiniti by no means was it a sardine can.

I'm 6'5" and 315. I can fit mine just fine. To be honest, getting in and out is kinda comical.

Headroom
 
Glad I finally found this thread. Heard all the nay-sayers talking about the poor headroom in the C7, but strangely enough, NONE of them had set in one. I'm 6'3" and long torsoed and was concerned whether I'd fit. Saw the picture of the 6'7" dude and his wife sitting in the car and he had a couple of inches above his ball cap !!!! Long story short..... just got back from my local dealer. Put a black/black/Kalahari 3LT convertible on order.... Now I just have to wait forever to get on the build list. Small dealer, no allocation so I may be waiting awhile..... Thanks for the good string !!!!

I sat in one and it seemed a little tighter than my C6 but once I was in it felt ok, just a bit more snug than the C6. I'm 6'-200.
