Default Any way to make the seats go back more?

I would like to purchase a C5 but I have a hard time fitting in. I'm 6'3" and with the seat all the way back I'm not comfortable, anyone have a solution to this other than to buy a different car?

You serious? I am 6'2" and I actually have the seat closer up for better heal/toe and gear changing. I don't see how you don't fit. There is a telescoping steering wheel option along with the power seats that adjust all over the place.

wow didn't know about the steering wheel. I tried sitting in one a few months back but it felt tight.

I wonder if racing seats would fit better since they would likely be narrower.

Do the Z06's and hardtops have less headroom or something? Because my 6'4 friend can even fit in my Vette, although a helmet fitting comfortably is questionable.

I'm 6'2" and put my seat all the way down and back as far as it will go.My hair touch's the headliner and I'm not very comfortable.

It wouldn't be my first choice for a cross country drive.

I deal with it though because the car is so freaking cool.

I took it out last week for the first time in 5 months.We took the Crane rockers off and I had a professional tune it(Rich at W2W).

Made 530 rwhp on a Mustang 1750 Dyno with open cutouts and Kooks 1 7/8 headers.

It drives like a H/C car from a drivability standpoint.The 60-140mph romps I did were impressive.
I'm happy with the engine you built Dave.

When the weather get's right I'm gonna put the CCW's on it and try to run a nine.
