New member looking to possibly get into an SS convertible in a couple months. I have test drove Challenger scat pack and it was quite roomy but...it's a Dodge....

Anyone out there in a convertible over 6'2 240lbs?? I know there isn't much backseat but what about headroom.

DaddySS · 06-28-2017, 03:21 PM

Plenty of headroom.

Vintendo · 06-28-2017, 08:27 PM

6"4 here at 320lbs. Fit fine plenty of room. Not so much for the back seats though haha

Iam 6'4" 285 and have no problems at all.

GodWentPunk · 06-29-2017, 11:44 AM

6'0....260.... The Gen5 is a good fit, the Gen6 too small.... headroom is fine as long a put the seat the lowest it will go. I have my seat set back but there is more room to go further... I have a "little" issues with seeing stop lights though when I'm the first car stopped... I'll have to bend down a little to see some.

Thanks folks

6'1" 235, plenty of room, I don't even need to have the seat adjusted all the way back, there is at least an inch and a half more adjustment if needed. Mine has the power driver seat which allows for lots of front and back and up and down adjustments, not sure if a non power seat equipped model has the same room.

6"4 310lbs here and I fit with no problems. (Vert)

I'm 6'7" 275. The fully adjustable power seat makes it a non issue. Can't have anyone except a kid or dwarf in the back seat....Oh well.

I've driven it on a few longer road trips in complete comfort.

I wanted a convertible and since I stand when I pee, it was narrowed down to a Camaro or Mustang. I couldn't fit at all in the Mustang. You'll be good to go. My buddies bust my balls thinking my head is above the windshield with top down, Herman Munster style, but I ride nice and low.

I would recommend you attach convex mirror to your rear view since the blind spots are horrible in the Camaro. Amazon has a bunch of good ones.

Good luck

not a problem

of course we were having fun at his expense.

He's 6' 10.5" and he can fit when he wants to.

We were playing with the seat controls

rshelar · 08-10-2017, 02:19 PM

That is hilarious! Looks like he is driving a toy.

I am 6' 2" and I sit high in anything. Inseam is only 30".
I also have a prob sometimes with traffic lights.

6'3" 280 lb......convertible....no problems.....Had a C5 corvette it fit like a glove too....But I opted for the Camaro....and like it

DonziCamaro13 · 08-15-2017, 01:24 PM

back seat is only for small kids. The trunk is just as bad. To get my golf clubs in it I have to take the woods out and shoe horn it in. Still love the car just wish it was a wee bit bigger. Front seats are great and adjust to just about any position you want!

KickerZ71 · 08-15-2017, 03:27 PM

6'6" 280 lbs no issues with the seating at all.
