Wingspan Dimension

Has anyone measured the "wingspan" of the new Camaro? I have to build a shed/garage for mine and want to make sure I can open both doors COMPLETELY inside - without fear of banging the walls.

The Chevrolet website has car dimensions but not with the doors open. Can one of you guys run a tape real quick and get me a width?

I'd be forever gratful...

Thanks.

I'm a retard..... I only added in the length of one door


also, the doors arent 51.1", the windows are tho. the doors are slightly longer, however, with the portion that goes into the door jamb when you open the door might take some of the length off

well look at it like this. if you are building a ONE car garage, a standard single car garage door is 8 feet wide, typicly a gasrage has an addition two foot on each side of the door. making the with of the garage 12 foot. you can EASLY put you camaro in that. and just so you have a little extra space, make it 24 foot DEEP. That way you will have room for a nice work bench.
