Maximum driver height? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

scottybmon · 06-02-2009, 07:25 PM

I'm 6 foot 3 inches tall - and can't find a Camaro on a dealer lot anywhere to sit in to determine if I can fit in the car. Any owners out there who are my height or taller?

BigMatt · 06-02-2009, 07:30 PM

I'm 6'4" and I had room to spare when I sat in one at the dealership

You'll be fine. I'm 6'4" and no problems sitting in the new Camaro. If you do a search, you'll find a few threads on the subject.

I'm 6'7' and sat in in one with a sunroof with the seat all the way down on the floor and I was fine.

FLYNNZL1 · 06-02-2009, 08:06 PM

I am 6'3" I sat in both Sunroof and non, with no problem

Sat in ours today. I'm 6'1" not a giant like you guys, but if I put the seat all the way down I felt it was too low for me to drive, and I had plenty of headroom. I was first scared when I got in it b/c I hit the roof, then I realized my PK had it raised, whew! I want to drive it someday

Yeah....6 2 here 250lbs. Just sat in one for first time yesterday....

Well, I hate to point this out. It all depends upon your leg to torso ratio.

I am only 6' 1", but have a long torso and shorter legs. When I was in a camaro this weekend I adjusted the seat to where I would want it and the very top of my hair (no I don't have a spike or anything crazy) would brush against the top. This car did have a sun roof in it.

So what I am saying is that if you are taller with long legs you are fine. If you have a longer torso and your over 6' 2" .... you better go try it for yourself.

you must have long legs because my head rubs on the sunroofed cars and I'm 6'7. Seat all the way down and all the way back slightly reclined and still rubbed. Ok in regular car, no worries there.

mfr1950 · 06-02-2009, 09:10 PM

I'm 6 ft. 1 in. 204 lbs and fit fine with room to spare and that one had a sunroof, Be sure to spend a few minutes doing seat adjustments!!

It's as much as your gonna get out of a sports coupe without changing the body.

People wanted it chopped even more. But according to that video where they went and let Dale Jr test drive one of the designer or teams never relented on allowances.

Which is good for tall folk.
