Big Daddy fits!

Alright, I know I'm opening myself up for some ridicule and public mockery but I do these things for the better good of the Camaro Nation!

I went down to the dealer today and they had a silver 2LT model on the floor that you could sit in. I'm 6' tall and weigh a whopping 380 pounds. I fit in it and I fit just fine! So if any of you are the size of a Baby Ox like myself and are holding off for fear that you won't be comfortable, you will be just fine. Headroom is just fine (this model didn't have a sunroof though) and the seats were amazingly wide and comfortable. Also the area between my ponch and the steering wheel was about five inches so If I wrecked bad enough I'm sure they'd have to cut me out, but as far as driving it I will be fine.

Alright, let loose...I can take it!

Yep, that seems to agree with everything that we have seen on this website. So far not many complaints at all about interior room.

I think you underestimate how many of us are close to your size.

I bet there are folks out there who will be happier and more at ease in their decision from reading that comment Ssooch - and thats the whole idea of the forum - so good for you for typing that up.



The main aspect of roominess that I am trying to address now while I wait is clearing out space in my garage to accomodate the new "baby" later in the year :-)

Its amazing how much stuff Goodwill and other charity stores are getting as a result of the new car !

What the hell are some of these people thinking when they say they don't fit. Here's proof that they obvioulsly don't know how to adjust the seats.
