Sat in a 2015 Stingray today, didn't fit.

Splitter · 09-19-2014, 06:53 AM

6'5. I guess I'm all legs. Knees smack up against the dash. Technically I fit, but it wouldn't be comfortable for more than 5 minutes.

It had the removable glass top too. Even with that off, no go.

Dreams crushed ._.

Guess the next one will be ZL1!

PYROLYSIS · 09-19-2014, 07:51 AM

I'd save up for the 6th gen ZL1. That should be one heck of a ride. Good luck lanky man.

well my hopes are crushed :( 6'5" as well, are you sure you had everything back as far as possible? please say no lol

As you get older, you'll shrink. So there's that

GoldCartridgeGamer · 09-19-2014, 09:49 AM

Wow. I'm 6'2" I fit just fine with plenty of room, my brother is 6'3" he fits with plenty of room, and my uncle 6'7" fits in one with plenty of room. Sorry to hear though. I recommend saving up for a ZL1 6th gen or a C7 Z06.

..he doesn't 'fit' in a '15 C7, it's not going to be any different in a Z06.

..just don't think the new vettes were designed for everyone. I 'feel' somewhat snug in a C6.

I will admit I am a bit on the round side haha, but I felt snug in a C6, snug in a C7 and I am only 5'11". But I could make it make it work. The car I felt really snug in was an ATS.

Hoping he'd give it another shot is all.

Everything was all the way back, all the way down. I had enough headroom, it was just that my knees were directly connected to the dash on opposite sides of the steering wheel.

Again, I'm literally 65% leg 35% torso.

I did fit, but it wouldn't be comfortable for longer than 5 min.

:(

Really? I thought the interior was bigger than the older ones? It certainly looks better.

Jarret · 09-20-2014, 07:27 PM

6'4" here and my knees were up against the dash as well. Though if I could truly afford the car I'd have enough money to remove the back seat and custom mount the driver seat a few inches back and be set

6'4/270 and had same issue. My dream was to own a C6 Z06 and when I sat in it, my head hit the ceiling and legs right up against the steering get wheel...

Ended up in a ZL1

hotlap · 09-20-2014, 08:14 PM

I'm 6'4", 210 lbs with a 34/34 pant. I fit in the C7 but felt wedged in side to side. Honestly, I've never cared for the low squeezed in feeling of a Corvette but felt I should give it serious consideration before buying.

Todd in Vancouver · 09-20-2014, 08:28 PM

The ZL1 is not a bad compromise but make sure you check the Riccaro seats if you get them because I didn't fit in them. I'm not a big guy, 6' and 220# but I've got wide shoulders and I just can't seem to get comfortable between the bolsters. Just an FYI ...
