Same

I have lots of short friends who drive Honda's, etc. I've tried driving cars like theirs and it's just imposable. A new Honda Civic 2 door with sunroof is just imposable. Seat all the way back (gives you just enough leg room), seat all the way down (doesn't give you enough headroom in a sunroof car), so recline the seat back...finally enough headroom, but can barely reach the steering wheel and shifter (and no, I don't have short arms).

Yeah, f-bodies are awesome cars for the tall. I've known a few big/tall guys who have owned several; never any complaints.

6'4 230. I fit better in the camaro then my neon DD..
300lbs is alot of weight to carry unless your Ronnie Coleman. Drop some lbs and you will be healthier and fit in the car better. I use the door sill to get some leverage when I jump out of the car.

6'2" 235 here, and im comfortable. It may just be me, but the seats in my 01 seem lower than our 00. I dont know if they changed the seats/tracks in those years, but both are WS.6s, both leather interior/t-tops.

5 foot 5, 160#, and I'm shocked that anyone bigger than me can get comfortable at all in these things. Every once in a while a buddy or someone about the size of you guys gets in to drive and it does not look comfortable at all...

Damn dude, do you have to sit on a heat rock after your bi monthly meal?

On a serious note, Im 6'2" 227 pounds and my WS6 fits me better then almost any other car Ive ever driven. My girl drives a 2002 Mazda millenia, Id rather have a pine comb shoved up my *** then drive that thing again.

175 and 5' 8".

I actually find it cramped in my dad's lincoln town car than the camaro and its hard to get out of the small doors.

If anything , the longer doors should be helping you giants.
