Recently hired on at GM but....

80sMetalDude · 01-20-2017, 12:21 PM

...I own a SCAT pack Charger in B5 blue that I bought last April.

While I do seriously love it.... I am considering a 1LE or ZL1.

Only had the *** to drive it to the Tech Center once LOL, it's pretty loud in the middle of all the GM vehicles and I don't want any hate door dings!

My main concern is my height. The Charger is great for a tall guy. I've seen youtube complaints at 5-10 for example and i'm 6-2, not very tall but enough that I hit that mark of concern.

Appreciate any feedback.

I've contacted Becky that I saw helping others trying to order a 1LE already btw.

Thanks.

I'm 6'4" and 220lbs. I have no issues with 'fitment' in the 1LE

Good to hear. Thanks.

6' 1" 290, and I can squeeze in there just fine. Mack doesn't like it but he deals.

Loving the contrast of your 1LE with white.

6'4" 250 and I'll be brutally honest here. 1. The steering wheel IMHO does not raise high enough for my ideal driving position when in the car (90 degree rule and what not). 2. With my helmet, my head will touch the roof so you have to lean the seat back a little further than I'm used to (Randy Pobst had to do the same I believe at 6'1"). 3. Finally, because I am larger than most my torso fits snugly in the seats but my upper back and shoulders don't come close to fitting.

I won't say any of these are deal breakers on the Recaros and interior space. It is much better than most, as it's American made with our size in mind. Try snuggling into an Elise, 370z or FRS/BRZ cockpit and you'll see what I mean.

i'm 6'2 240lbs .. no issues here.. plenty of room..

evanescent03 · 01-21-2017, 10:21 AM

6'3" 235. car is comfortable for me but seeing traffic lights is annoying when I'm first in line, wearing a helmet forces me to be a little more reclined than I'd like, but it works out, the car is a blast.

Looks like we have the makings of a 1LE football team

6' 2", 250+, broud shoulders, I fit surprisingly well and comfortably.

The SS 1LE demographic on here is not what I expected.

No sunroof available with the 1LE's.
