I have been putting money away for a down payment on a new Camaro for a few months, so I plan on getting one whether I really can fit into it or not. I just hope it's not too uncomfortable.
Either way, it will be worth it.

This was a major concern to me at 6'7" tall. This is good info above and if anyone has more please let us know.
They raised the roof 15mm from the concept.
I read an anonymous post elsewhere that said a GM employee told him there will be RS, Z28, SS models. Said V6 was detuned to 260hp so it wouldn't steal Z28 sales.
But the part I liked best was he said they extended the seat rails from the concept for taller people. I hope this guy was accurate.
I have always fit into Camaros and Firebirds comfortably.
I fit into the current Mustang comfortably.
Make sure you get power seats for full adjustability.
The Pontiac G8 (Camaro's sibling) is extremely roomy inside. I mean I got in and said whoa! The Camaro platform is modified, but there's plenty of leg room front and rear on the G8 so hopefully this translates to a roomy "mid-size coupe" Camaro.
Interior spy shots look nice and roomy. (Dust, dirt, and test equipment not included on production model)
Exterior spy shots show an average sized engineer has plenty of room between the roof and his head. I noticed an engineer in one photo standing outside the car and later a shot of him driving it.
Nurburing photos show it has room for helmets to be worn, even though the seats may be lower than production or may not.
Again, anymore feedback is welcome
