Default Car Cover

I'm looking for a cover for my trans am ws6 to hold me over until I can get a garage @ my apt. I found a good deal on one, but its for a midsize car: honda accord coupe, 178" long. I know our cars are about 193" long, so I'm wondering if it MAY be able to fit. It doesnt have to be a perfect fit, as long as the majority of the car is covered. The guy says he's used it on his Corvette convertible too (which is probably irrelevant)

here you go, this will fit perfect. You don't want a poorly fitting car cover, especially if it is going to be outside. The wind will wip it against the paint, and cause a lot of scratches.

Yeah I've seen that before.. It is a nice cover, I'm just really curious about the one mentioned b/c I could get it a killer price. Interesting point about the wind though, I didnt really think about that.. thanks

Just FYI they sell a Red one in the sponsor and sales section ... looks pretty nice if this one doesn't pan out.

But Im not sure about the fitting to answer your question. 178" to 193" sounds like a big difference to me in length. Especially over the spoiler ...
