Are you Over 6ft tall ?? Sunroof ?? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

RedGrizz · 08-12-2009, 02:43 AM

Just wondering how you guys over 6Ft tall are getting along with the headroom in the sunroof Camaros. I am 6'5 and test drove one for 10 minutes
I had to tilt the seat back some. I would appreciate input from those who have got their cars and spent some time in them. I have one on order with the roof but am a bit concerned about comfort.
Thanks for the input.......

I suggest against the sunroof. I'm 6'5" as well and my head skims the headliner in a camaro with a sunroof. I can't wear a hat in the car. Get the hardtop or convertible imo.

i am 6 5 also. and wear a hat in mine with a sunrooof. granted my seat is reclined farther than what most people like,

i'm 6'4" and have no issue with my sunroof.. plenty of room and I don't do the "lean". Hat or no hat I have plenty of room. I'm not sure how some of the people adjust their seats but i have inches between my head and the roof not just a little gap. Plenty of room.

I am 6.2 275LBS and have an IOM with Sun roof and have no issues at all

I'm 6'2" with a sunroof. If I was 6'5" it would not work for me.

ftshark · 08-12-2009, 08:17 AM

6' 3" here, test drove one with a sunroof and I had to put the seat in an uncomfortable position to get my head off the roof.

FLYNNZL1 · 08-12-2009, 08:38 AM

I am 6'3" with a sunroof, no problems here.

04ssSilverado · 08-12-2009, 08:55 AM

i think this has been discussed before;but it depends on the individual.i'm 6'5 but ihave a long torso.sunroof won't work for me.someone with longer legs/shorter torso would'nt have as much trouble.

WadeWilson · 08-12-2009, 08:58 AM

I'm 6' 2" and I have no problems at all with headroom with my sunroof

Hoss · 08-12-2009, 09:07 AM

I'm 6'4" I don't want a sunroof. It takes some of the needed headroom! A sunroof ruins the line of the reverse mohawk roof.

Ghost Rider · 08-12-2009, 09:08 AM

I'm 6' 3" and I test drove one with a sunroof. I did fit but I had the seat all the way down and leaning back a little. I had an inch or less to the headliner. Yes, you can fit, but it will be close.

It also matters whether you're tall because you have long legs v. a long body. People are built different.

BTW, I did not get a sunroof for myself.

Also, BTW, my head hit the roof in my last car (my wife's old car) and I had to lean to the right. After a year and a half, I was done with it. Just something to think about.

First I am pretty sure there is another long thread on this.

Second, while height is a contributor, your body structure is more an issue if you are over 6'. I am 6'1" and I just touch with a sunroof = long torso. You just need to find a car and sit in it, adjust everything as if you are driving it and see.

RedGrizz · 08-12-2009, 09:21 AM

Thanks for chiming in and I did read the thread that existed on this but I was looking for input from guys closer to my height, only a couple replies in the other one specified that.
Thanks again and keep up the replies Im still on the fence but reconsidering the sunroof. How about over 6"5 ???? Hehe PS the nearest Camaro is about 200 miles from here so thats why I am asking for valued opinions. Thanks Again guys.
