Re: 6'6...fit in a GM? Well, I'm only 5'11", so I don't speak from experience, but with the seat back, I think you'd be ok. Just find a fbody near you, and ask to sit in it. Go to a dealer or something, so you will know for sure.

Re: 6'6...fit in a GM? I'm 6'5 and have a Z28 with T-tops (gives a little more room). I also had a Vette for a couple of weeks and fit in it pretty well, the key is getting your seat adjusted just right.

Re: 6'6...fit in a GM? Jim Mcilvaine got an 02 vert so his head could stick out the top....He is ~ 7'x" He had his seat moved back and down from the stock location too...I think you can fit <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
If you would like to email him, He goes by "Jim@GMHTP" on the board, look for him in the "other events of interest" forum <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Re: 6'6...fit in a GM? MY buddy is over 6' He drives a 00 T/A. I drive a 98Z. He fits ALOT more comfortable in mine for some reason. Both are leather t-tops auto seats... I guess its the style of the seats.

Re: 6'6...fit in a GM? 6'5" here and hardtop z28. No problems, actually more leg/hip/shoulder room compared to my old altima; my seat is tilted back a little, I don't like sitting straight up anyway, and big doors are very convinient [unless you park in a tight space..]

Re: 6'6...fit in a GM? 6'6", not a problem. When I have the helmet on at the track though, can't tilt my head forward very far.

Re: 6'6...fit in a GM? 6'4" 300lbs here.......... Plenty Leg room, but the seat has taken a little wear over time(leather looks new but the padding is kind of flat on the inside of the seat). But she still rides fine.

Re: 6'6...fit in a GM? If you barely fit in the Cobra, you're good to go for the Camaro/Firebird. The mustang accomodates a more "robust" person a little better, but our cars handle tall people better. I'm about 6'4" and own a Firehawk and my "robust" friend has a GT.

Re: 6'6...fit in a GM? I think you will be fine in the driver seat. Just don't let someone drive your car and you have to ride in the passenger seat. Don't work to well. I took a tall friend about 6'7 for a ride. His knees were so close to his chest he could have licked his knee caps. I say go for it. 98 z28 here.
