Default have a question

I am stationed in japan and I am coming back to the states soon. I am looking at getting a c5 when I get back but I am a 6' 5" 275 lbs and was wondering if someone like myself could fit in the vette with no problem or would it be a very tight fine?

youre to big for that car. Unless youre planning on only driving in a couple hours a week.

youre a big boy, how the hell are you within body fat. are you a Marine, Navy or AF?

You can fit in one, Mr Hawk is 6'5" about wieghed as much as 295 and drove his dad C5 Z06, his firehawk, and his Z28 no problem. It really all depends on how comfortable you want to be, and the shape of your body.
