How tall are you? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

garagelogic · 06-25-2009, 08:32 PM

I'll go into a little more detail on it in another thread later, but I finally had a chance to test drive a Camaro this afternoon and the experience has led me to ask the following question:

How tall are those of you who have purchased already or that plan to buy a Gen5? For the record, I am 6' 2.5" tall.

I have a tall body and short legs, so with the seat all the way forward and 2 inch wooden blocks I can drive a car, but my head sticks out the sunroof.

I'm 5ft. 11 also have tall body and short legs. But my head still has some room when seat is all way down. Did loose alot of room compared to the H2 I was driving but improvement in gas makes up for it! 2SS IOM

Well, this particular car did have a sunroof, so I know that was a factor, but even with the seat all the way down, my head was still in the headliner. Granted, I could have moved the seat back a little more, but then I was too far away from the pedals for my comfort. At 6'4", I'm surprised you fit even without the sunroof.

I actually still have some room to move the seat back, but don't feel the need to. I do have longer arms, so I am able to lean the seat back a little more. That might explain why I have a little more headroom.

i'm just shy of 6'2, and i haven't sat in one yet

*Mindz* · 06-25-2009, 09:08 PM

6'5" and have sat in a few. no problems for me.

Xanthos · 06-25-2009, 10:37 PM

5' 8" and have sat in two different ones, one with sunroof (number 3, see my sig) and one without.

Both I had PLENTY of headroom.

6'1" and I have the very same problem, haven't had the chance to try a non-sunroof yet.

GMtothecore · 06-25-2009, 10:52 PM

6'2"...drove one without sunroof and I don't think the seat was all the way down and I still had probably a few inches to spare.
