6'3" here and that is why I bought the Camaro over a C6Z06 or ZR1 because my heads hits the roof in them. The Grand Sport Vette was the only one I could fit in.

I'm 6'3 and fit in mine without any problem.

MIDNIGHT · 05-12-2013, 04:07 AM

I'm 6'6'' and with a sunroof in mine and have no issue.

It is mostly about proportions and seating prefferences rather than size only.

I'm about 6'3" and have no problems without the sun roof but would feel uncomfortable driving one with a sun roof all the time.

Best would be to check at a dealer closeby for yourself.

Cheers from Germany

I had an issue with the sunroof when I first sat in one at the dealer but I didn't realize at the time that I could have lowered the seat and the salesman didn't think to inform me. So I ordered one without the sunroof. I am 6-0. On hindsight, I may have taken the SR, maybe not. But I have no problem at all now with the non-SR.

6'4" here and the only issues for me are the long reach to the steering wheel (same with all other cars) and my right knee is really close to the key fob sticking out causing me to accidentally turn the car off once. Headroom really isn't a problem.

5-9. About the only time in my life where I like being short the only car I had a problem with was the BR-Z. Yea that's a small friggin car

My wife is 5'10" and I'm 6'2"...we have no problems with the top up on our convertible. Not sure about the hard tops.

chathen613 · 05-12-2013, 06:20 AM

At 6'3" I have no problems... Anyone in the back seat, however, won't be having a great time.

supercharged zl1 · 05-12-2013, 06:26 AM

I'm 6'1 I fit in my car fine with the seat to the floor.

05stram · 05-12-2013, 06:52 AM

6'6" and fit fine with a sunroof

QmaroSS · 05-12-2013, 07:45 AM

6'3" with no sunroof and I fit perfectly. I even occasionally wear a hat and still no problem.

I can see that even taller people (6'5" and 6'6") should fit as others have mentioned with no issues. Maybe getting taller than that could start having issues.

I think its more like 1.5" or so.
Agreed, don't get a sunroof. I'm 6'3 - 6'4" and I hate driving in 5th gens with sunroofs. I can't sit in a comfortable position without my head smashing into the roof.
But I have plenty of head room in 5th gens without sunroofs.

My brother is 6'9 300lbs and has driven my Camaro (with sunroof) with no issues. He also drives a Miata and if he can fit in that, I think anyone can fit in a Camaro
