Camaro surprisingly comfortable for us big guys

At 6 feet & 280 lbs I always had second thoughts about owning a muscle/sports car but I was very surprised when I found the Camaro didn't make me feel like I was wearing the car instead of driving it. Anybody else know what I mean?

Yeah... 6'2" 285 here. I even have a sunroof (I'm long legged, not so long torso)! I've got zero fitment issues.

Step aside...big Papa Sooch coming through....

6' 380lbs. I fit like a champ!!

But I also had the opportunity to drive a 2011 Grand Sport Corvette and I fit as well. Seat belt and all!!

And before we get the "you should really be trying P90x" replies. I'll just put up my defense by saying "I'm trying but your Mom cooks some big and delicious breakfasts"!!!

6'9" 205lbs and I fit great. The seats in my 2SS are the most comfortable seats of any vehicle I have ever owned!

6'3" 200lbs and my Camaro fits me like a glove. One of the most comfortable and ergonomic cockpits I've ever experienced.
