You can always remove the front seat and sit on the back if you cant fit.

Noticing a trend here - we're tall and/or wide, or know someone who is. Me? I'm 5' 10'' and very wide.

nUcLeArEnVoY · 09-22-2008, 10:47 PM

5'10", 140... I'm a petite guy; the only reason I ever put the seat back all the way is because I like to drive with my arms stretched to make it seem more racey.

Im 6'1 about 190lbs, This is really good news for me

*Mr. Wyndham* · 09-22-2008, 11:59 PM

It DID fit like a glove. Holy Cow...I didn't want to get out. (but I had to give others a turn...

)

I'm not exaggerating, the car felt like it was an extension of your body. You sat in it, and you just...fit. No squirming, nor leaning...it was great. And they really nailed the whole 'cockpit' feeling. This is a driver's Camaro with thoguht given to the passengers, too. Absolutely wonderful car...

I cannot WAIT to get one for myself!!!!

headpunter · 09-23-2008, 12:06 AM

TonytheTiger · 09-23-2008, 12:09 AM

Same here.

I think he pointed you out to me during the Q&A...but we (My Dad, brother, and I) were running out the door...:(:(

My short 5'4" frame seemed to fit okay. The IVER didn't seem to have a an up-down adjustment on the seat (not that I found anyway...I was trying to enjoy my brief time in it, and not hog it from those waiting their turn in it). Just a smidge higher for me and it would have been perfect.

Tantalizer43 · 09-23-2008, 08:36 AM

I'm 5'11", this is with absolutely no adjustments to the seat... I kinda wish I would have moved it around a little. Looks pretty far back though...

sadly the no back seat room may keep me from buying this car for a while. I end up as the DD for my friends way to often for them to not have room in the back seat, and im 6'1" so space will be limited. thats ok though i hear the G8 has caverns full of space. a worthy trade for now, though be certain ill grab a camaro once my buddies get off the bar scene.

Exactly. Buy the G8 since it is available with the same drivetrain.

Buy some new buddies!!! Haha. I know how you feel. I always end up as the DD too. But take a piece of advice from me. Drive their car. That way you can get yourself a new camaro and not have to worry about your friends fitting in the back.
