Question About Fitting Into a 2012 SS

Hey guys, I have a question about fitting into a new 2012 SS. I'm a big guy. I'm about 6'3 and I weigh about 275. I was wondering if anyone around my size could give me an estimate as to about how much space you actually have in this car. Is it comfortable for you bigger guys and should i consider going with a convertible so that my head isn't always touching the roof?

I am 6ft 3" and about 225. I actually fit well and I am very comfortable surprisingly. Getting in and out isnt as easy as my pickup but once your in there are no issues for me.

I'm close to your size (6'2, 240 lbs) and my brother is too (6'4 250 lbs). I have one with a sunroof and fit just fine. My brother doesn't have a sunroof and fits just fine too.

Buy the car that you would most like to get beat in. The other guy will always be faster.

Yeah, the people that complain that they don't fit are the ones that don't move the seat down and back.

As stated: don't expect to fit anyone on the 'shelf'.. err I mean the 'back seat'.

6'8'' 240......no troubles.
I will say that a long distance trip is better in a full size truck however.......
