How tall are you? - Page 2

UCF w00t · 06-25-2009, 10:53 PM

I find it interesting that the height/headroom stuff keeps coming up. I don't get how but it seems some people in the 6'2"-6'4" range report issues while people even taller don't. I know there's varying torso heights, etc but still... unless you're a freak of nature I don't get how there's a problem. You sure the seat was all the way down? I have a feeling it wasn't.

Just for the record I'm 5'9" with no issues (shocker I know).

Yes, it was all the way down. Seat adjustment is not exactly rocket science. It was not, however, all the way back. All the way back, I felt like I was stretching to reach the steering wheel and pedals.

Maybe the folks taller than 6'2"-6'3" have longer limbs so it is not so much of an issue.

Also, I'm sure the incline of the seat back would make a difference as well, but I'm not one of those guys that has the seat reclined at some ghetto-fabulous angle. There are enough blind spots with the car sitting upright.

5'9 and change

I'm 6'3 and sat in one at the dealership and fit very comfortably. In my mustang my head was close to the roof but in the Camaro I had lots of room

Y'all are some tall sum'b*****s.

Well, to me at least

SScattergunSS · 06-26-2009, 03:56 AM

I'm 6'4", 228lbs.. I didn't get the sunroof, but as it turns out, I probably could have pulled it off. (Barely)

FNKNSTN · 06-26-2009, 04:14 AM

6'... seat all the way back. I don't even know what the roof looks like, haven't paid that much attention to it... my head doesn't come that close.

I'm 6'3" with a tall torso and haven't had a chance to sit in the car yet (soon oh so soon...), but I fit very nicely in the Mustang with quite a bit of headroom. But when I got in the Challenger that's supossedly huge, my hair was touching the headlining but that car also had the sunroof. Was already going without the sunroof on the Camaro but I know I've got an even better reason for it.

That was me in this Camaro. My hair was rubbing the headliner. In my GT500, I have an inch or more of headroom without having the seat all the way down or all the way to the back. Just a personal observation, not a slam on the Gen5.

Im 6'5, no problems in the car without the sun roof... with the sun roof, however, my hair touched.

How tall are those of you who have purchased already or that plan to buy a Gen5? For the record, I am 6' 2.5" tall.

...Depends on the girl. XD

But seriously 5'10". Had no issues whatsoever with the car and didn't even have to adjust the height. Still had plenty of drop in the seat.

6' 3" mostly in legs, lol
I haven't sat in one yet though, and i do plan on buying a vert Camaro, no ifs ands or butts!
